Deep neural networks are a tool for acquiring an approximation of the robot mathematical model without available information about its parameters. This paper compares the LSTM, stacked LSTM and phased LSTM architectures for time series forecasting. In this paper, motion sensor data from mobile robot driving episodes are used as the experimental data. From the experiment, the models show better results for short-term prediction, where the LSTM stacked model slightly outperforms the other two models. Finally, the predicted and actual trajectories of the robot are compared.

MEMS gyroscopes are widely used as an alternative to the more expensive industrial IMUs. The instability of the lower cost MEMS gyroscopes creates a large demand for calibration algorithms. This paper provides an overview of existing calibration methods and describes the various types of errors found in gyroscope data. The proposed calibration method for gyroscope constants provides higher accuracy than datasheet constants. Furthermore, we show that using a different constant for each direction provides even higher accuracy.
