I lost my first copy of this book and liked it enough to get another, so I guess I must think it's pretty good.
The main topic is the robotic task of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and all of the (various) subproblems therein. I find it does a very good job of explaining the basic approaches and their building blocks (e.g. Kalman filters, particle filters) and gives a good foundation for reading more recent work.

The bible of modern robotics.

The best book right now for roboticists and decision making data scientists alike

[Viacheslav Osaulenko · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book, with clear and full mathematical explanations of complex topics. It is still recommended after 17 years of publishing. Although some topics are a bit outdated, most are fundamental stuff that will outlive the authors.

[Josiah Bruner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really quite excellent textbook on a challenging topic. Author does a wonderful job presenting challenging material in a (relatively) easy-to-consume manner.
