Detailed Description

An acceleration limiter for the kobuki.

This class will check incoming velocity commands and limit them if the change since the last incoming command is great.

Right now, this hasn't got any configurable parameters for the user - that might be an option to provide for users in the future. Ideally

• User can disable this and do their own velocity smoothing outside.
• User can enable this with defaults (fairly high accelerations)
• (Later) User can enable this reconfigure a parameter to suit.
