The present invention involves a method of operating a motive body, where a target path is identified. The motive body is commanded to follow the target path from an initial position. The first actual position is sensed of the motive body after the commanding step. A first target subpath is calculated from the first actual position to correct for predictive errors in movement of the motive body. The actual position of the motive body is determined along each of a plurality of axes, and a multi-dimensional position error between the actual position of the motive body in each of the axes and a multi-dimensional reference trajectory is calculated. A multi-dimensional position error signal dependent upon the calculating step is determined. At least one of a speed and a direction of the motive body is established dependent upon the multi-dimensional position error signal.
