System Challenge: Sensor Fusion Pipeline

In this challenge, you will build a node that fuses high- frequency IMU data and low- frequency GPS data.

Requirements

  • Create a node named fusion_node.
  • Subscribe to /imu/data (sensor_msgs/msg/Imu)
  • Subscribe to /gps/fix (sensor_msgs/msg/NavSatFix)
  • Publish to /robot/pose (geometry_msgs/msg/PoseStamped)
  • The pose should represent a smoothed combination.
  • CRITICAL: In the real world, sensors drop out. Your node MUST continue publishing /robot/pose even if the GPS signal stops completely, otherwise your robot will crash.

Input/Output Format

Input: IMU, GPS, Odometry | Output: Fused Pose

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

  • Latency mismatch between sensors
  • Out-of-order data processing
