Hey all, I'm trying to understand the implementation of the pure pursuit controller here. I'm curious about how the angular velocity is calculated as w = curvature * linear_velocity. What's the intution behind this? I would have expected some sort of feedback controller to meet the desired orientation based on the current orientation
