A simulation-based study to calculate all the possible trajectories of differential drive mobile robot

Abstract

Deferential Drive Mobile Robot (DDMR) is being used in many applications as it is easy to be modeled and controlled. This research presents the idea of using DDMR turning motion behavior to develop an algorithm that calculate all the circular trajectories. This can be used to navigate DDMR in a curvature paths instead of linear ones. In this research we design and simulate Differential Drive Mobile Robot (DDMR) model. Then we use the simulated model to calculate all the possible trajectories that DDMR can follow with each left and right wheel velocity configurations. Results are saved in a navigation look-up table that can be implemented in DDMR navigation's approach.
