Nivek, I'm hurt!  NO mention of my work!  (sniff)   :-)

I will be presenting a paper at IROS about the use of dead reckoning
for WALKING machines that does not involve the use of any sensors,
other than the joint encoders.  The results obtained show a dead
reckoning error, for the Ambler, of less than 2%.  I suspect that when
we repeat these tests as the Ambler walks around outdors, that the
error will be less.  [Why?  Because I suspect that the error in my
ground truth measurements were high due to the confined conditions of
the building in which the earlier tests were done.]

If anyone is interested, I can send you a postscript version of the
paper...
