Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for controlling device movement based on a movement command. Issues on accurately controlling movement of a device such as a programmable robot and rover are addressed by first determining a command type of the movement command, followed by determining specific types of controllers for a high-level controller and a low-level controller based on the determined command type. When the command type is a linear movement, a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is used at the high-level controller and a Proportional/Proportional-Integral (PPI) controller is used at the low-level controller to accurately control a target distance. When the command type is an angular movement, the PPI controller is used at the high-level controller and the PID controller is used at the low-level controller to accurate control the end-heading of the device.
