Odometry

In French:
Odométrie

Definition

Estimation of a robot’s movement from its own motion measurements, typically the rotation of its wheels counted by encoders. It is continuous and reliable over short distances, but drifts as small errors add up. It is corrected by fusing it with other sensors or with map-based localization.
