Potential Field Navigation & Proportional Control for Obstacle Avoidance
Channel: Carlotta A. Berry, PhD
Date: 2021-07-18

Potential field navigation and proportional control are related because the robot moves away from an obstacle proportional to the desired distance from obstacles. The robot will slow down as it gets closers to obstacle. It will also move away from obstacles proportional to how quickly it wants to get away to reach the desired setpoint of distance from the obstacle.
