Monte Carlo Localization #1

Open manglemix opened 7 months ago

manglemix commented 7 months ago

Hi, I am a student at the University of Utah and a member of Utah Student Robotics. We are trying to achieve autonomy with our robot and we are interested in utilizing Monte Carlo Localization. However, I am the only contributing programmer, and I am not super familiar with statistics. There are also not many good references for statistics in Rust. Could this library be used for achieving Monte Carlo Localization? Are there any pieces of advice you could provide for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, we have made it our goal to program our robot completely in Rust, just for the added challenge.

Hi,

Unfortunately I'm not sure what Monte Carlo localization ? I'm also a robotics student, but I work on control rather than estimation or localization. As for statistics in Rust, I don't know where the ecosystem is right now. I don't even know if ndarray is still the best package for doing linear algebra
