Summary

  • Encoders will be used to track relative robot position as it moves
  • This is one method for tracking position and will be combined with others (IMU, laser sensors, stereo vision, sonar, IR, contact sensors, etc.) to generate as accurate a position as possible
  • This page will describe the encoders and how they are tracked with HW and SW and the math used to turn that wheel movement information into position

Encoders

  • The encoders are integrated into the drive motors
