Path Following

This page is under construction. Please be patient.

In terms of path following, Kratos used a proportional navigation law, which was easier to integrate with our actuation model, but had the unfortunate tendency to cut corners. Argos takes care of this problem by calculating and minimizing the crosstrack error, e(t) defined as the signed distance from the closest point on the path to the point p(t) between the robot’s wheels.
