## Summary

This framework combines flow-matching-based path planning with model predictive path-following control for mobile robot navigation. The flow matching model captures multimodal path distributions, while the predictive controller satisfies state and input constraints online and avoids obstacles, and event-triggered replanning feeds control solutions back into subsequent path generation. Simulation results show that the framework performs robustly in cluttered environments.
