Re: Filtering out Vibration while using a KOP Accelerometer
Hi, I'm currently trying to decide between using wheel odometry and a double integration of accelerometer data. So this is a very interesting conversation!

One thing that I've failed to see is any mention of the gyroscope data used in conjunction with the accelerometer data. I see this as important because the robot's frame of reference translates and rotates with respect to the absolute coordinate frame of the field. Pretty much what I am saying is that the x and y coordinates of the accelerometer won't always remain parallel to the x y axes of the field therefore the orientation of the robot must also be monitored. Has anyone considered this as a probably source of error? I might've missed something, but there is my two cents!
