Detailed Description

Computes odometry values based on a set of kinematic properties and wheel speeds for a diff-drive vehicle.

A vehicle with a heading of zero degrees has a local reference frame according to the diagram below.

  Y
  ^
  |
  |
  O--->X(forward)

Rotating the right wheel while keeping the left wheel fixed will cause the vehicle to rotate counter-clockwise. For example (excuse the lack of precision with ASCII art):

Y     X(forward)
^     ^
 \   /
  \ /
   O

Example Usage

DiffDriveOdometry odom;
odom.SetWheelParams(2.0, 0.5, 0.5);
odom.Init(std::chrono::steady_clock::now());
 
// ... Some time later
 
// Both wheels have rotated the same amount
odom.Update(GZ_DTOR(2), GZ_DTOR(2), std::chrono::steady_clock::now());
 
// ... Some time later
 
// The left wheel has rotated, the right wheel did not rotate
odom.Update(GZ_DTOR(4), GZ_DTOR(2), std::chrono::steady_clock::now());
