Evaluation of trajectory tracking performance using the ArduPilot Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) environment following a Spiral trajectory. Metrics include spatial tracking errors such as RMSE, MAE, P95, and Max error in the XY plane.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Trajectory Tracking |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ArduPilot SITL Spiral trajectory |
| Metric | RMSE (XY) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [RMSE (XY)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/trajectory-tracking-on-ardupilot-sitl-spiral-trajectory.md?metric=RMSE%20(XY)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [MAE (XY)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/trajectory-tracking-on-ardupilot-sitl-spiral-trajectory.md?metric=MAE%20(XY)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [P95 Error (XY)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/trajectory-tracking-on-ardupilot-sitl-spiral-trajectory.md?metric=P95%20Error%20(XY)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Max Error (XY)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/trajectory-tracking-on-ardupilot-sitl-spiral-trajectory.md?metric=Max%20Error%20(XY)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
