Real-world case studies featuring ground vehicles, drones, and wearable devices illustrate the practical applications of these techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers will benefit from hands-on learning tools, including block diagrams, solved problems, MATLAB examples, and guided tutorials. Topics such as state estimation, sensor fusion methods, and signal processing are presented alongside foundational concepts in linear algebra, kinematics, and stochastic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Atia, with extensive academic and industry experience in signal processing and artificial intelligence, has designed the book to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications. Engineers working in robotics and navigation systems will find the sensor fusion algorithms ready for implementation on real-world platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cSensor Fusion Approaches for Positioning, Navigation, and Mapping\u201d<\/strong> is now available for purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-us\/Sensor+Fusion+Approaches+for+Positioning%2C+Navigation%2C+and+Mapping%3A+How+Autonomous+Vehicles+and+Robots+Navigate+in+the+Real+World%3A+With+MATLAB+Examples-p-9781394155286#download-product-flyer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Mohamed M.
