Pure Pursuit Lesson 4(Quiz)

Quiz

What is the main purpose of the Pure Pursuit algorithm in robotics?

To calculate the robot's exact position.

To avoid obstacles in the robot's path.

To enable smooth path following for robots.

To increase the robot's speed.

What does the "lookahead distance" in Pure Pursuit represent?

The distance the robot has traveled.

How far ahead on the path the robot aims for.

The distance to the nearest obstacle.

The robot's turning radius.

What shape is used to determine the lookahead point in Pure Pursuit?

A circle.

A square.

A triangle.

A straight line.

If the lookahead distance is increased, what is the likely effect on the robot's path following?

The robot will become more reactive.

The robot will follow the path more closely.

The robot will turn more sharply.

The robot will become more stable but less responsive.

Which control algorithm is typically used in conjunction with Pure Pursuit to move the robot towards the lookahead point?

Random walk.

Dead reckoning.

PID control.

Open loop control.
