Abstract

—In the vector-field-guided path-following problem, a sufficiently smooth vector field is designed such that its integral curves converge to and move along a 1-D geometric desired path. The existence of singular points where the vector field vanishes creates a topological obstruction to global convergence to the desired path and some associated topological analysis has been conducted in our previous work.
