Should the "steering angle(ω)" in differential drive vehicles actually be represented as angular velocity ?

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working with differential drive vehicles and came across a notation in Autoware documentation that seems a bit confusing. I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me.
Should the "steering angle(ω)" in differential drive vehicles actually be represented as angular velocity ?

Furthermore, I'm interested in learning more about Autoware's research and development in this area. Do you have any additional insights or ongoing projects related to differential drive vehicle models?
Thank you in advance for your help! Your insights will be greatly appreciated.

hi @leoskyer

You are right， w here represents the angle speed that the robot rotates，

the document that you referenced tells you how to implement autoware for a differential chasis

Feel free to contact me if you have further question

happy hacking！
