            <abstract>
                <p>The behavior of nature&#x2019;s predators is considered for designing a high speed tracking controller for nonholonomic vehicles, whose dynamics
are represented using a unicycle model. To ensure that the vehicle behaves intuitively and mimics the biologically inspired
predator-prey interaction, saturation constraints based on Ackermann steering kinematics are added. A new strategy for mapping commands
back into a viable envelope is introduced, and the restrictions are accounted for using Lyapunov stability criteria. Following
verification of the saturation constraints, the proposed algorithm was implemented on a testing platform. Stable trajectories of up to 9&#x2009;m/s
were achieved. The results presented show that the algorithm demonstrates significant promise in high speed trajectory tracking with
obstacle avoidance.</p>
