Footpath Keep Assist

If you have driven any modern car they have a lane keep assist function.  Essentially it will just follow the lines on the road and stay in the lines.  My robot works quite well with NMS in enclosed areas and avoids objects etc but when it gets out in the open on the footpath you have to manually steer it to move between locations.
