Understanding Transformations

Josh Newman does a great job explaining transformations in ROS2. You can find the rest of his tutorials here: Josh Newman's ROS2 Tutorials

Introduction

Transformations are a key concept in robotics. They are used to describe the position and orientation of objects in a 3D space. In ROS2, transformations are managed by the tf2 library. This library provides a way to represent and manipulate transformations in a way that is easy to work with.
