I have the formulas to derive the RPM's of each wheel from the robot's linear velocity. Now, I am trying to do the same thing for the acceleration (mainly angular acceleration). For linear acceleration I am always assuming that the linear velocity of the wheels is the same as the robots when the robot is moving on a straight line...according to physics. Am I right?

But angular acceleration seems more complicated, specially when the robot is following a curved path (not necessarily turning in place).

Any readings or ROS packages that deal with this acceleration issue?

Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ What about the acceleration? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Acceleration is just $\frac{{\Delta} v}{{\Delta}t} $, so if you can solve for the position then you have enough data to solve for the velocity and acceleration just by measuring the changes over time. $\endgroup$
