- In Reactive Navigation the navigation is executed purely based on the processing of the current/recent sensor data.
- Reactive Navigation does not include a map and hence the position of the robot with respect to a global frame of reference is not known.
- Using Reactive Navigation a robot can navigate in completely unknown environments containing unpredictable moving obstacles.
- Follower application between two turtlesim robots:
- One turtlesim robot is teleoperated and the other follows it.
- One frame of reference is attached to each turtlesim robot and the relative transformation between these two frames is calculated.
- Then, control commands are given such that it follows the teleoperated robot using feedback control.
- The user enters the x coordinate and y coordinate of the desired goal position.
- Then, control commands are given such that the turtlesim robot reaches the goal position using feedback control.
