Re: Localization of A Omni-Directional Robot

That's where it gets iffy. It relies entirely on 100% accurate sensor data as well as getting data as fast as possible. I was thinking about having *3 accelerometers and averaging them. I expect it get somewhat close to the target spot, but I wouldn't put money on it in a precision contest.

*I would like to have about 20 just to really solidify the data, but that is unreasonable. If I would do that, however, I would use a RANSAC algorithm to find the "mean" of the signals. Also, it'd look pretty silly having a tower of accerlometers on a robot that is 6 inches tall.
