Abstract
When a mobile robot is constructed the odometry must be calibrated. Calibrating a 4-wheel robot requires the accurate measurement of steering angle as well as translation and rotation. Some measurements are made with a tape measure and some with ultrasonic sensors. The measurements are used to determine the parameters of the odometry calibration matrix and the steering kinematic model. A procedure for calibrating a 4-wheel robot is discussed.
