EP.5 | AUV Orientation in 3D | Euler Angles (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) Explained with MATLAB

In this episode, we build the mathematical foundation of 3D orientation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).

We derive and implement Euler angle rotations:
- Roll (rotation about X-axis)
- Pitch (rotation about Y-axis)
- Yaw (rotation about Z-axis)

Using MATLAB, we construct rotation matrices step by step, explain why they look the way they do, and visualize their geometric effect in 3D space.

We also discuss why rotation order matters and briefly introduce the concept of gimbal lock.

This video is part of the AUV Modeling & Control series.
