Computing Euler Angles: The Euler Kinematical Equations and Poisson’s Kinematical Equations

In this video we discuss how the time rate of change of the Euler angles are related to the angular velocity vector of the vehicle. This allows us to design an algorithm to consume measurements from a rate gyro and compute the resulting Euler angles of the vehicle.
