Odometry

The methods to acquire odometry information are given below:

 (current-lfor-x (self <wheelchair-client>))        // current x coordinate
 (current-lfor-y (self <wheelchair-client>))        // current y coorinate
 (current-lfor-theta (self <wheelchair-client>))    // current th coordinate
 (mreset-origin (self <wheelchair-client> x y th))
 (current-position (self <wheelchair-client>)) // (x y th)
The method mreset-origin resets the odometry such that the current Vulcan's location becomes as specified by the parameter of mreset-origin. Vulcan only keeps track of one odometry frame of reference, so be careful when resetting the odometry origin.
