It's a piece of code that runs on the robot so the robot can 'plan' its movements. Using encoders on the wheels and a gyroscope, you can plot a path using Pathfinder and the code will manipulate the motor outputs in an attempt to follow that path. With a bit of clever code, you could even use something like the NavX (or even still an encoder / gyro combination) to derive your position relative to the origin your robot started at.
