FaSTrack · Bounding the gap between planning and tracking

FaSTrack pairs a simplified fast planner with a safety controller and a tracking-error bound accounting for richer dynamics and disturbances. The study demonstrates a ten-dimensional nonlinear quadrotor model following a three-dimensional RRT path.

Use and review

Checked publication metadata and the matching conference-paper abstract. Bounds depend on planning/tracking models and disturbance limits; results must be distinguished from the separate 2021 extension.
