Aim of this thesis is to design and construct odometric sensors for a mobile robot with Ackermann steering Bender 2 and to design a mathematical model which would evaluate the the trajectory of the robot using measured data of these sensors. The first part summarizes theoretical knowledge, while the second, the practical part, describes the design of the front axle, the design and the operating software of the front encoders and the odometric models. The last part deals with the processing and evaluation of the measured data.

This thesis covers the topic of controlling RC servos and constructions of robotic vehicles. The goal is to propose a model of robotic vehicle with RC components and other off the shelf components, 3D printing and demonstrate its capabilities. In the thesis, a mobile robot platform was proposed. It uses a single-board computer together with readily available parts and does not require complicated assembly. An optimization algorithm was used for the design of rack and pinion steering. The result of the thesis is the implementation of a robotic vehicle.
