Dear all,
I have an IMU. Even if I have made the calibration of the accelerometer, it still gives me the wrong distance value of the robot when I integrate the acceleration twice. And after the movement(when I stopped the robot), the acceleration is always different from zero. How can I fix these problems?
Thanks for your helps.
Double integrating over the acceleration measurements is typically so noisy that the data can't even be reliable enough to use. I would recommend that you find another method to calculate distance because it will be incredibly difficult to get any reasonable data from your calculations.
You could start by high-pass filtering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pass_filter) your acceleration signal to get rid of the zero-offset. If your robot isn't moving but you still have an acceleration signal that is definitely going to be an issue when you integrate.
But likie Dimitri said - integrating an accelerometer really isn't a good way to track distance anyways.
