- I am working on the navigation problem for a tracked vehicle. The dead-reckoning
- based on drive motor encoders does not work really well because of the slippage and
- skid when the robot turns. I do not have much experience working with tracked vehicles.
- Are there any good solutions to this problem? Have anyone used those absolute
- velocity sensor or accelerometers to measure the absolute motion of the vehicle
- directly? Any good or bad experience with them? Has anyone used some cheap gyros,
- such as those used in model planes, to measure the orientation of a robot? Any
- experience or reference with them? Thanks a lot.
