Ok so I am coding this robot simulation software that gets a robot to teach itself how to drive using genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks. However, I dont know how to realistically move the robot. For example, say the neural network outputs 0.8 for the right motor, whats the maths to plan a trajectory for this. Basically the 0.8 is the speed of the right motor so it will spin 8 times a second. Now what I cant figure out is this. The robot is circle shaped so how do I change the angle of the robot realistically if the robot moves forward 1 but goes to the left or right x amount.
So like would the maths be this. x = tan(1/(angle * degrees of the robot)) and then the angle to subtract or add would be tan(1/x)? Or not?
Please help,
thanks guys,
