how much robot moved algo
« on: January 07, 2008, 04:28:24 PM »
hey folks, i need help to find an algorithm to measure how much did my robot moved a stright line(its a hexapod)
i can do this by software but i still would want to use my only sharp ir to make sure both measurements are very close and reduce the error,,help

Hexapod......

I guess use soemthing like a IR speed gun ( find speed of car , etc.) , point it on ground on robot and then calculate distance and add it up.

Check out the Roboduino, Arduino-compatible board!

By counting the number of steps(or by addind a constant distance every time you robot moves or something like that), if you dont want to use an external reference. Controlling the movement of a walking robot is way easier than a wheeled robot(if you are not using a steper).

Don't you have a problem calculating the distance when you move over different types of ground.
eg. on a carpet (very high grip) you'd move more distance than on a slippery tile floor...

why? do the legs slip? considered putting big rubber pads on the feet? or made the feet needle sharp?
