Hi All Can you please help me writing the equation to split the velocity on left and right wheel of a differential robot from the /cmd_vel? I want to take smooth turns i.e both wheel should rotate in forward direction but at different speed while taking curves /turns

Equation which I encountered till now simply splits the velocity in which one wheel moves in clockwise Direction and other anticlockwise while taking turns.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you're actually asking about the kinematics of a differential drive robot.

There are a few Q&As about that already here on ROS Answers. Take a look at #q244540 and the resources linked from that answer for instance.

@gvdhoorn I have seen the post. But unfortunately most of the link for the useful resources are not opening expect the YouTube video. Since I have lack of time can please share me link to a blog or documentation from where I can get a good idea.

Thankyou

vel_l = ((msg.linear.x - (msg.angular.z * self.wheel_bias / 2.0)) / self.wheel_radius) * 60/(2*3.14159) vel_r = ((msg.linear.x + (msg.angular.z * self.wheel_bias / 2.0)) / self.wheel_radius) * 60/(2*3.14159)
