Reading papers

I looked at Mobile Robotics Manual and installed the software that came with the robot.

Next I read 3 papers and struggled with 2 of them.

1. A Tutorial on Particle Filters for Online Nonlinear/Non-Gaussian Bayesian Tracking - M. Sanjeev, Sumin Maskell, 2002
2. FastSLAM: A Factored Solution to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Problem - Michael Montemerlo, Sebastian Thrun
3. Multi Robot Mapping using Force Field Simulation - Rolf Lakaemper

I am looking at the references for 1) and 2) to better understand the math. So far I found these websites to be useful reference as well.

I will keep adding them as I find more of them
