/**
 * A simple 2D planar slam example with landmarks
 *  - The robot and landmarks are on a 2 meter grid
 *  - Robot poses are facing along the X axis (horizontal, to the right in 2D)
 *  - The robot moves 2 meters each step
 *  - We have full odometry between poses
 *  - We have bearing and range information for measurements
 *  - Landmarks are 2 meters away from the robot trajectory

// As this is a planar SLAM example, we will use Pose2 variables (x, y, theta) to represent
// the robot positions and Point2 variables (x, y) to represent the landmark coordinates.
#include <gtsam/geometry/Pose2.h>
#include <gtsam/geometry/Point2.h>

// Each variable in the system (poses and landmarks) must be identified with a unique key.
// We can either use simple integer keys (1, 2, 3, ...) or symbols (X1, X2, L1).
// Here we will use Symbols
#include <gtsam/inference/Symbol.h>

// In GTSAM, measurement functions are represented as 'factors'. Several common factors
// have been provided with the library for solving robotics/SLAM/Bundle Adjustment problems.
// Here we will use a RangeBearing factor for the range-bearing measurements to identified
// landmarks, and Between factors for the relative motion described by odometry measurements.
// Also, we will initialize the robot at the origin using a Prior factor.
#include <gtsam/slam/BetweenFactor.h>
#include <gtsam/sam/BearingRangeFactor.h>

// When the factors are created, we will add them to a Factor Graph. As the factors we are using
// are nonlinear factors, we will need a Nonlinear Factor Graph.
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/NonlinearFactorGraph.h>

// Finally, once all of the factors have been added to our factor graph, we will want to
// solve/optimize to graph to find the best (Maximum A Posteriori) set of variable values.
// GTSAM includes several nonlinear optimizers to perform this step. Here we will use the
// common Levenberg-Marquardt solver
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer.h>

// Once the optimized values have been calculated, we can also calculate the marginal covariance
// of desired variables
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Marginals.h>

// The nonlinear solvers within GTSAM are iterative solvers, meaning they linearize the
// nonlinear functions around an initial linearization point, then solve the linear system
// to update the linearization point. This happens repeatedly until the solver converges
// to a consistent set of variable values. This requires us to specify an initial guess
// for each variable, held in a Values container.
#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Values.h>
