Linear-quadratic-Gaussian control

Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian control (LQG) is a type of control used in robotics. Robots use this type of control to follow a path, like going from one point to another.

LQG control uses three different kinds of math equations called linear, quadratic, and gaussian equations. These equations help a robot figure out the best way to move from one point to another.

The linear equation helps the robot figure out how to move in a straight line.

The quadratic equation helps the robot figure out how to turn and make its path more smooth.

The gaussian equation helps the robot figure out where it needs to be in order to stay on its path.

LQG control is like a map that a robot follows to get to its destination. It helps the robot figure out the best way to get there and adjust itself to stay on the path.
