Abstract
Odometry measurement is an important concept to update localization information, but is prone to error propagation. Still the method is widely applied to wheeled mobile robots since their motion is quite robust to random error such as slipping. While the concept of odometry can also be applied to humanoid robots the dynamically stable walking generation reinforces sliding motions resulting in unpredictable errors. Therefore this paper proposes a novel approach to measure these sliding errors with the help of optical sensors to either correct the odometry update or perform suitable actions to counteract the error.
