Modifying a pure pursuit algorithm to work in three dimensions

Path tracking has been an important issue in robotics for many decades now and it is used to give a robot entity the ability to follow a path. The many different algorithms used to do path tracking all have specific behaviors and may not be optimal or even work in all areas. To broaden the use of an...

Description
Summary:Path tracking has been an important issue in robotics for many decades now and it is used to give a robot entity the ability to follow a path. The many different algorithms used to do path tracking all have specific behaviors and may not be optimal or even work in all areas. To broaden the use of an existing path tracking algorithm, this report sets out to modify it to work in three dimensions instead of two.
