This set of chapters cover robot kinematics and dynamics, models of cameras and range sensors, and simulation with Gazebo and ROS.

Kinematics & Dynamics

Configuration spaces, homogeneous coordinates, motion representations, and wheeled robot kinematics.

Camera Sensor Models

The pinhole camera model, lenses, intrinsics and extrinsics, and camera calibration, including Zhang’s method.

Beam Sensor Models

Probabilistic beam and likelihood-field models for sonar, lidar, and other range sensors.

Systems Integration

Gazebo simulation, ROS applications, and world authoring.
