  • Added new DWB critic called path follower that tries to follow the global plan as close as possible.
  • Configured separate critic on top to correct final heading near the goal

NOTE: Robot speed is reduced under current physics settings; enabling fast physics mitigates the problem

Tested in simulation; navigation through tight spaces shows improvement.

Final NOTE: Made almost entirely by OpenAI codex under my multiple and detailed instructions over several days.

Hi Oscar, I didn't get around to testing this. I just noticed that the test is failing because it doesn't have a license header (see above). Is there a way to integrate pre-commit into the Codex workflow so that it catches and fixes such errors automatically?

Maybe, let me check. Otherwise I can make the necessary changes so that the pre-commit checks pass.
