Improved Planetary Rover Inertial Navigation and Wheel Odometry Performance through Periodic Use of Zero-Type Constraint

This repository provides a localization algorithm that compensates for the high likelihood of odometry errors by providing a reliable localization solution that leverages nonholonomic vehicle constraints as well as state-aware pseudo-measurements (e.g., zero velocity and zero angular rate) updates during periodic stops.

Keywords: localization, dead-reckoning, zero-velocity, non-holonomic
