Coordinate Frames (TF)

This page collects the base-to-sensor transform matrices (TF) for every sensor mounted on the RBQ. Each matrix is a 4×4 homogeneous transform from the robot base frame to the sensor frame; translation components are in meters (m).

NOTE

These are fixed mounting transforms. Transforms that change at runtime (odom → base_link, leg joints, and so on) are broadcast by the robot on /tf — see the ROS 2 topic reference.
