imu vs imu/data

The message type is the same - it's just a different topic name/namespace. For a robot that only has a single topic carrying IMU data, "imu" might be sufficient. However, many robots end up ...

how can I reset robot localization in runtime

You can use the set_pose service to re-localize the robot. If you want more information, you can watch the source code here About the service the ros2 documentation is very helpfully

GPS and Navsat Transform Node Issues with Magnetic Declination and Yaw Offset in São Paulo, Brazil (Real Robot)

Our IMU yaw rate is obtained from our vehicle's CAN data of yaw rate, and we integrate that value. We don't have a direct IMU source. Sorry, are you saying that you don't have a magnetometer that ...

Odometry with robot_localization using GPS and Imu, not encoders

This config/setup will simply not work, I'm afraid. First, you should read REP-105. The odom frame pose should be continuous, even though it will drift from reality....

Robot random jumps with robot_localization

I found the origin of the problem, it was the serial data from the micro controller. sometimes it was sending big random values for encoder counts which let to those big jumps as the position of the ...

Publishing / Correcting map -> base_link transform based off detected landmark

One way to do this is to publish the Apriltags transformation to /initialpose topic. The localization will recalculate the position after feeding it this information. Another way is to use the Kalman ...

What is ENU frame in IMU?

ENU frame is the accronym of East North Up (XYZ). Which means that robot_localization expects your IMU to publish 0 degree rotation when the X axis of your IMU ...

Just a general question about localization and degree of freedom

Yes, the ROS package, Robot Localization, has a setting for 2d, and the roll and pitch are set always at zero. It works fine for a robot on a flat (or mostly flat) surface.
