+
+/**
+ * Example of a simple 2D localization example
+ *  - Robot poses are facing along the X axis (horizontal, to the right in 2D)
+ *  - The robot moves 2 meters each step
+ *  - We have full odometry between poses
+ */
+
+// We will use Pose2 variables (x, y, theta) to represent the robot positions
+#include <gtsam/geometry/Pose2.h>
+
+// In GTSAM, measurement functions are represented as 'factors'. Several common factors
+// have been provided with the library for solving robotics/SLAM/Bundle Adjustment problems.
+// Here we will use Between factors for the relative motion described by odometry measurements.
+// Also, we will initialize the robot at the origin using a Prior factor.
+#include <gtsam/slam/PriorFactor.h>
+#include <gtsam/slam/BetweenFactor.h>
+
+// When the factors are created, we will add them to a Factor Graph. As the factors we are using
+// are nonlinear factors, we will need a Nonlinear Factor Graph.
+#include <gtsam/nonlinear/NonlinearFactorGraph.h>
+
+// Finally, once all of the factors have been added to our factor graph, we will want to
+// solve/optimize to graph to find the best (Maximum A Posteriori) set of variable values.
+// GTSAM includes several nonlinear optimizers to perform this step. Here we will use the
+// Levenberg-Marquardt solver
+#include <gtsam/nonlinear/LevenbergMarquardtOptimizer.h>
+
+// Once the optimized values have been calculated, we can also calculate the marginal covariance
+// of desired variables
+#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Marginals.h>
+
+// The nonlinear solvers within GTSAM are iterative solvers, meaning they linearize the
+// nonlinear functions around an initial linearization point, then solve the linear system
+// to update the linearization point. This happens repeatedly until the solver converges
+// to a consistent set of variable values. This requires us to specify an initial guess
+// for each variable, held in a Values container.
+#include <gtsam/nonlinear/Values.h>
