I have some experimental data like this (position against time), how do i find the scalar value of distance moved?
This should be 10+16+16+14=56m.* fixed dumb error
Not interested in direction just magnitude of movement.
Thanks!

Following your image, you have a position array like:
position = [10,10,0,0,-16,-16,0,14];
Then to calculate the total distance:
distance = sum(abs(diff(position)))
