Terrain Adaptive Estimation of Instantaneous Centres of Rotation for Tracked Robots by Cuifeng Wang, Wenjun Lv, Xiaochuan Li, Mingliang Mei

“…However, ICRs cannot be measured directly and are time-varying with terrain variation, and thus, here, we aim to develop an online estimation method to acquire the ICRs of a robot by means of data fusion technologies. First, an innovation-based extended Kalman filter (IEKF) is employed to fuse the readings from two incremental encoders and a GPS-compass integrated sensor, to provide a real-time ICR estimation. …”
