Using two DC motors and two wheels is the easiest way to build a mobile robot. In this chapter we will discuss several designs such as differential drive, synchro-drive, and Ackermann steering. Omni-directional robot designs are dealt with in Chapter 9. A collection of related research papers can be found in [Rückert, Sitte, Witkowski 2001] and [Cho, Lee 2002]. Introductory textbooks are [Borenstein, Everett, Feng 1998], [Arkin 1998], [Jones, Flynn, Seiger 1999], and [McKerrow 1991].
