Folder Structure

• scripts/
  Contains simulation scripts for various pure pursuit methods. You can refer to these to understand how DWPP can be implemented.

• ros1_node_example/
  Includes example ROS 1 implementations of DWPP and conventional pure pursuit methods.
  The file dwpp_ros_node.py was used in real-world robot experiments, but it depends on our private configurations and cannot be used directly. Please use it as a reference only.

• results/
  Contains result figures used in the paper.
