Differential Steer Drive Dead Reckoning
Here are the dead reckoning equations for the coordinates (x and y), and heading for a differential drive robot with encoders on both drives:
where are the encoder ticks recorded on drive one, are the encoder ticks recorded on drive two, is the radius of each drive wheel, is the separation between the wheels, and is the number of encoder ticks recorded in a full rotation of a wheel.
