+# REP-105 (http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0105.html) specifies four principal coordinate frames: base_link, odom, map, and
+# earth. base_link is the coordinate frame that is affixed to the robot. Both odom and map are world-fixed frames.
+# The robot's position in the odom frame will drift over time, but is accurate in the short term and should be
+# continuous. The odom frame is therefore the best frame for executing local motion plans. The map frame, like the odom
+# frame, is a world-fixed coordinate frame, and while it contains the most globally accurate position estimate for your
+# robot, it is subject to discrete jumps, e.g., due to the fusion of GPS data or a correction from a map-based
+# localization node. The earth frame is used to relate multiple map frames by giving them a common reference frame.
+# ekf_localization_node and ukf_localization_node are not concerned with the earth frame.
+# Here is how to use the following settings:
+# 1. Set the map_frame, odom_frame, and base_link frames to the appropriate frame names for your system.
+#     1a. If your system does not have a map_frame, just remove it, and make sure "world_frame" is set to the value of
+#         odom_frame.
+# 2. If you are fusing continuous position data such as wheel encoder odometry, visual odometry, or IMU data, set
+#   "world_frame" to your odom_frame value. This is the default behavior for robot_localization's state estimation nodes.
+# 3. If you are fusing global absolute position data that is subject to discrete jumps (e.g., GPS or position updates
+# from landmark observations) then:
+#     3a. Set your "world_frame" to your map_frame value
+#     3b. MAKE SURE something else is generating the odom->base_link transform. Note that this can even be another state
+#         estimation node from robot_localization! However, that instance should *not* fuse the global data.

+# [ADVANCED] When measuring one pose variable with two sensors, a situation can arise in which both sensors under-

+# measured by one of the sensors, let one sensor measure pose, and the other velocity. However, doing (a) or (b) isn't
+# always feasible, and so we expose the differential parameter. When differential mode is enabled, all absolute pose

+# [ADVANCED]  The EKF and UKF models follow a standard predict/correct cycle. During prediction, if there is no

+# correction, this predicted value is fused with the measured value to produce the new velocity estimate. This can be
+# problematic, as the final velocity will effectively be a weighted average of the old velocity and the new one. When
+# this velocity is the integrated into a new pose, the result can be sluggish covergence. This effect is especially
+# noticeable with LIDAR data during rotations. To get around it, users can try inflating the process_noise_covariance
+# for the velocity variable in question, or decrease the  variance of the variable in question in the measurement
+# itself. In addition, users can also take advantage of the control command being issued to the robot at the time we
+# make the prediction. If control is used, it will get converted into an acceleration term, which will be used during

+# [ADVANCED] The process noise covariance matrix can be difficult to tune, and can vary for each application, so it is

+# to be larger, which will cause the filter to trust the incoming measurement more during correction. The values are
