-Vector pursuit is a geometric path-tracking method that uses the theory of screws. It is similar to other geometric methods in that a look-ahead distance is used to define a current goal point, and then geometry is used to determine the desired motion of the vehicle. On the other hand, it is different from current geometric path-tracking methods, such as follow-the-carrot or pure pursuit, which do not use the orientation at the look-ahead point. Proportional path tracking is a geometric method that does use the orientation at the look-ahead point. This method adds the current position error multiplied by some gain to the current orientation error multiplied by some gain, and therefore becomes geometrically meaningless since terms with different units are added. Vector pursuit uses both the location and orientation of
