differential drive body velocity calculator online

Use differential drive body velocity online for left m s, right m s, track m. Pure rolling wheels; track is contact-center spacing. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.

How to use it

Enter left m s. Set right m s, track m. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
left m sMain input. Signed finite values. 0.5
right m sOption. Signed finite values. 0.7
track mOption. Positive values. 0.4

Calculation method

forward_m_s = (left_m_s+right_m_s)/2; yaw_rad_s = (right_m_s-left_m_s)/track_m (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply differential drive body velocity to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Pure rolling wheels; track is contact-center spacing.

Differential Drive Body Velocity — worked case

Settings: right m s: 0.7; track m: 0.4

Input:

0.5

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "forward_m_s": 0.6,
  "yaw_rad_s": 0.4999999999999999
}

Choose the right tool

Use forward kinematics to map joints to a position and inverse kinematics for reachable position targets. Encoder resolution is not mechanical accuracy; supplied motion and gripping models do not certify a robot cell.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Pure rolling wheels; track is contact-center spacing. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
