Implementing Positioning Algorithms Using News Today

In part 1 of this two-part article series, Pedro laid the groundwork for his autopiloted four-wheeled robot project by exploring the concept of speed estimation and speed control. In part 2, he dives into the actual building of the robot. The project provides insight to the control and sensing functions of autonomous electrical vehicles.

In this first part of his two-part article series, Pedro lays the groundwork for his autopiloted four-wheeled robot project. Here, he shows the complete path in digital signal processing (DSP) to go to from raw acceleration measurements—obtained from a BeagleBone Blue IMU—to reliable speed estimation using accelerometer data.
