This tracker can be used to accurately track trajectories with correction for minor disturbances. -## Constructing the Ramsete Controller Object -The Ramsete controller should be initialized with two gains, namely ``b`` and ``zeta``. Larger values of ``b`` make convergence more aggressive like a proportional term whereas larger values of ``zeta`` provide more damping in the response. These controller gains only dictate how the controller will output adjusted velocities. It does NOT affect the actual velocity tracking of the robot. This means that these controller gains are generally robot-agnostic. - -.. note:: Gains of ``2.0`` and ``0.7`` for ``b`` and ``zeta`` have been tested repeatedly to produce desirable results when all units were in meters. As such, a zero-argument constructor for ``RamseteController`` exists with gains defaulted to these values. +## Constructing the LTV Unicycle Controller Object +The LTV controller should be initialised with two parameters, `dt` and `maxVelocity`. `dt` represents the timestep used in calculations and `maxVelocity` should be the max velocity your robot can achieve. .. tab-set-code:: ```java - // Using the default constructor of RamseteController.

The controller should be updated periodically with the new goal. The goal comprises of a desired pose, desired linear velocity, and desired angular velocity. Furthermore, the current position of the robot should also be updated periodically. The controller uses these four arguments to return the adjusted linear and angular velocity. Users should command their robot to these linear and angular velocities to achieve optimal trajectory tracking. +The LTV Unicycle controller returns "adjusted velocities" so that the when the robot tracks these velocities, it accurately reaches the goal point.
