Differential Steer Drive Dead Reckoning
Here are the dead reckoning equations for the coordinates (x and y), and heading for a differential drive robot with encoders on both drives:
where are the encoder ticks recorded on drive one, are the encoder ticks recorded on drive two, is the radius of each drive wheel, is the separation between the wheels, and is the number of encoder ticks recorded in a full rotation of a wheel.

From hope and fear set free,

Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
