Kaden's law

Kaden's Law describes the relationship between the location of a point moving along a curve and the curvature at that point, stating that the way the point’s position changes over time depends directly on the curvature. Essentially, it links the geometric property of how "curvy" a path is to the motion along that path, often used in physics and robotics to understand and predict movement along curved trajectories. This law helps in designing control systems that need to follow curved paths smoothly and precisely by incorporating curvature into planning algorithms.
