LiDAR Odometry vs Wheel Odometry
Developers should learn LiDAR Odometry when working on autonomous navigation, robotics, or augmented reality projects that require accurate, real-time pose estimation in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, such as indoors, in urban canyons, or under dense foliage meets developers should learn wheel odometry when working on robotics, autonomous vehicles, or navigation systems, as it provides a low-cost, real-time motion estimation solution using simple sensors like encoders. Here's our take.
LiDAR Odometry
Developers should learn LiDAR Odometry when working on autonomous navigation, robotics, or augmented reality projects that require accurate, real-time pose estimation in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, such as indoors, in urban canyons, or under dense foliage
LiDAR Odometry
Nice PickDevelopers should learn LiDAR Odometry when working on autonomous navigation, robotics, or augmented reality projects that require accurate, real-time pose estimation in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, such as indoors, in urban canyons, or under dense foliage
Pros
- +It is essential for building robust SLAM systems that enable vehicles and robots to map unknown areas while tracking their own position, critical for tasks like path planning, obstacle avoidance, and environmental interaction
- +Related to: simultaneous-localization-and-mapping, point-cloud-processing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict
Use LiDAR Odometry if: You want it is essential for building robust slam systems that enable vehicles and robots to map unknown areas while tracking their own position, critical for tasks like path planning, obstacle avoidance, and environmental interaction and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Wheel Odometry if: You prioritize it's essential for initial localization, sensor fusion (e over what LiDAR Odometry offers.
