Abstract

A computer-implemented method for controlling a controllable object includes determining a change in a baseline between a controlling object and the controllable object based on measurements from a first location sensor of the controlling object and a second location sensor of the controllable object, mapping the baseline change to a corresponding change in a navigation path of the controllable object based at least in part on a mapping function, generating one or more control commands according to the mapping, and controlling the controllable object to effect the state change according to the one or more control commands.
