It’s a request to a position2d device (e.g., a mobile robot) to set its internal odometry to a particular (X,Y,theta) value. It doesn’t move the robot, just transforms the coordinate system in which odometry will be reported.

What is the purpose of the key in a provides or requires field (e.g., the "odometry" in "odometry::position:0")?
