Algorithm for Autonomous Navigation between two waypoints

I am designing an algorithm for autonomous navigation by a mobile robot between two waypoints. I want to design a simple algorithm but with high accuracy. Has anybody of you ever used such algorithms. I would like to have your opinions before I proceed designing one. Can anybody tell me of any such algorithms? Can you also share your experience on the accuracy of the algorithm? I want a higher accuracy algorithm. May be less than 2 cm.

Thanks

This is highly dependent on your sensors/localization and drive system.

Also this type of question may be better suited for http://robotics.stackexchange.com

Ya, I would post it there too. But if you guys have any answer I would love to hear. I know it is dependent on sensors and localization of my robot but still algorithm would remain the same no matter what robot we use. So please let me know if you have used any specific algorithms.

This board is for ROS-specific issues, not general robotics questions. Either way, you're asking something extremely open ended and broad, that you won't have much luck with in question/answerform. You could be talking about anything from path planning, trajectory generation, to low level control.
