RT Journal Article T1 Pure-Pursuit reactive Path Tracking for Nonholonomic Mobile Robots with a 2D Laser Scanner A1 Morales-Rodríguez, Jesús A1 Martínez-Rodríguez, Jorge Luis A1 Martínez-Sánchez, María Alcázar A1 Mandow, Anthony K1 Vehículos autodirigidos AB Due to its simplicity and efficiency, the pure-pursuit path tracking method has been widely employed for planned navigation ofnonholonomic ground vehicles. In this paper, we investigate the application of this technique for reactive tracking of paths thatare implicitly defined by perceived environmental features. Goal points are obtained through an efficient interpretation of rangedata from an onboard 2D laser scanner to follow persons, corridors, and walls. Moreover, this formulation allows that a roboticmission can be composed of a combination of different types of path segments. These techniques have been successfully tested in the tracked mobile robot Auriga-α in an indoor environment.
