In this robotics and mechatronics tutorial, we explain how to numerically solve the forward kinematics problem of a differential drive robot (differential wheeled robot). Furthermore, we explain how to simulate and animate the computed robot trajectories by using Python and Pygame. Pygame is an open-source and free game development environment in Python. It can be used to simulate and animate the trajectories of mobile robots. This tutorial is very important for students, engineers, and professors who want to visualize robot motion, path planning, and SLAM algorithms. The advantages of the methods that we are presenting are that they are very simple and open source. Consequently, you can completely understand and track every aspect of simulation and animation. In this tutorial, you will learn
