Euclidean distance

Euclidean distance is an appropriate metric for tasks related to navigation through the Euclidean problem space. In the Euclidean problem space, we define the problem goal as a point with particular coordinates.

Using the Euclidean distance, it is easy to calculate the distance between the position of the navigational agent and the target point it is trying to reach. The following formula calculates the Euclidean distance between two vectors:

Here is the Euclidean distance between the vector with agent position and the vector ...
