You just have to integrate the accelerations to get velocity data. Something like this:
velocity_x = velocity_x_previous + accel_x * dt;
It will depend on how good your accelerometers are whether you get a good estimate of the velocities. Also another good use for accelerometers is determining your pitch and roll from the gravity vector, it can help determine if your robot is stuck/tilted.
