The plain-English version

An estimate of motion or pose derived from motion-related measurements.

It provides useful local movement information while accumulating uncertainty.

Let’s make it click

A simulator estimates relative movement from virtual wheel measurements.

Vibe Bro’s heads-up

An odometry estimate is not an exact global position; drift and uncertainty must be considered when interpreting or combining it.
