Hi, Murilo.
There is a reason, although very subtle. 'Mobile robot' is a very broad class of robots, which encompasses mobile bases, legged robots, etc., although it is common to use 'mobile robot' as a synonym of 'mobile base'. The same applies to 'holonomic robot'; for instance, a serial manipulator is a holonomic robot but with a fixed base! Therefore, I first decided to stick with DQ_MobileBase and DQ_HolonomicBase to be more precise. The name 'differential-drive robot', on the other hand, is unambiguous because it makes sense, AFAIK, only for mobile bases. Plus, the name 'differential-drive base' is very uncommon; this is why I chose the former.
Cheers, Bruno
Hello, @bvadorno,
Context I was checking
DQ_DifferentialDriveRobot
and I noticed that its name contrasts with its parent classes:Question
Is there any specific reason why this one became
Robot
instead ofBase
?Kind regards, Murilo
