Also, it allows us to do interpolated arc motion for turns to enhance efficiency as opposed to the usual turn-go-turn type turns in many autonomous modes.

How do you go about creating an interpolation algorithm for turning/moving to next waypoint? The system I implemented resembles a *jerky movement* pid, then follows the next indexed path.
