This work enhances global path planning via a pure-pursuit controller with multi-model kinematic switching that sustains plan fidelity across diverse terrains. The system includes a traversability graph for terrain analysis, a Heading-Aware A* algorithm for generating feasible paths, and a multi-model Pure Pursuit controller for dynamic tracking. A core innovation is adaptive kinematic modeling, enabling real-time switching between kinematic models based on terrain features and robot states. This adaptability optimizes path efficiency and energy use in challenging scenarios. We validate the approach in simulation on different platforms, namely the Artaban quadruped and the X3 quadrotor drone, showcasing improved performance, robustness, and adaptability over standard baselines.
