In the previous exercice we were drawing the outline of the robot based on the pair . Now we are going to build a a simple script to animate the robot. The robot uses differential steering, which means the left motor runs at speed and the right motor at speed .
From this we can calculate the forward speed
and also the differential speed
In order to animate the robot we add 3 buttons:
- Reset, which sets and
- Start, which starts the animation (StartAnimation[true])
- Stop, which stops the animation (StartAnimation[false])
We also add an animation script to the (invisible) time slider:
A=A+v*v_f*dt
θ=θ+ω dt
Set two motor speeds and press the Start button. Observe the trajectory of the two wheels.
