Embedded Systems Design 3-Position and Orientation Control

Course Code: COMP663

Become familiar with the position and orientation control methods by implementing complex sensors such as accelerometers and rotational encoders. You will gain an understanding of the numeric methods that can help obtain speed and position, when necessary, through mathematical integration or differentiation of digital values. Capture the different analog and digital signals generated by speed and acceleration sensors by applying the serial communication protocols. Finally, you will implement a position control system that uses accelerometers and encoders to control the position and speed of a tricycle robot.
