The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Machines
Summary
The behaviors discussed here are but one way of performing path planning and
execution. There are undoubtedly many other methods, but the principles and
considerations are the same. As the path planner evolves, it will become ever more
interconnected with other algorithms and states. Some of these interactions will be
discussed in the chapters to come.
The important thing to remember is that each behavior must be capable of operat-
ing properly if the robot’s position estimate is suddenly changed. If our robot has
good solid live reckoning, these changes will happen continuously.
