 ## Description
 
-This ROS package generates the odometry information from the encoder provided by the platform. The encoder message is defined in [here](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/mobile_robotics/adc/platform/model_car/iri_model_car_msgs).

 Additionally, this package also generates an additional feedback information specific to Ackermannn-like platforms with information which is not available in a standard [Odometry](http://docs.ros.org/en/melodic/api/nav_msgs/html/msg/Odometry.html) message.

-Due to the low resolution of the encoders used in the platform, at low speeds, the raw encoder information is not suitable to generate accurate odometry information (the encoder count increments present isolates impulses separated by 0's), To solve that a simple first order low pass filter is used. The cut-off frequency of this filter can be set by a parameter.

 ## Launch
 
-This package is normally launched as part of a more complete launch file, either in simulation or with the real robot. See the documentation in [here](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/mobile_robotics/adc/platform/model_car/simulator/iri_model_car_how_to) for more information.
