  • Abstract
    A method for odometry calibration of unicycle-like mobile robots is presented in this paper. The equations of motion are written so as to exploit linearity in a proper set of unknown parameters and the least-squares technique is then applied to estimate them. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique in reducing the systematic odometric errors.
