Making Space for Time: The Special Galilean Group and Its Application to Some Robotics Problems
Abstract
The special Galilean group, usually denoted SGal(3), is a 10-dimensional Lie group whose important subgroups include the special orthogonal group, the special Euclidean group, and the group of extended poses. We briefly describe SGal(3) and its Lie algebra and show how the group structure supports a unified representation of uncertainty in space and time. Our aim is to highlight the potential usefulness of this group for several robotics problems.
