About

This section is included to assist the students to perform the activities in the book. It includes detailed steps that are to be performed by the students to achieve the objectives of the activities.

Chapter 1: Fundamentals of Robotics

Activity 1: Robot Positioning Using Odometry with Python

Solution

from math import pi

def wheel_distance(diameter, encoder, encoder_time, wheel, movement_time):

time = movement_time / encoder_time

wheel_encoder = wheel * time

wheel_distance = (wheel_encoder * diameter * pi) / encoder

return wheel_distance

from math import cos,sin

def final_position(initial_pos,wheel_axis,angle):

final_x=initial_pos[0]+(wheel_axis*cos(angle))

final_y=initial_pos[1]+(wheel_axis*sin(angle))

final_angle=initial_pos[2]+angle ...
