Clarify how the "closed-loop" and "RL" controllers differ from trajectory following. Consider if there might be a better term besides "closed-loop," considering these are all actually closed-loop in the usual sense.

Thanks for your feedback @ricopicone! You are right, the categories were a bit ambiguous. I changed the categories to "trajectory-based control" and "policy-based control" (6caf96f4663ef8034b60dbd6d34ced5f1d8d5081) to highlight that some controllers try to follow a specific (precomputed) trajectory and others operate on a state-space covering policy. Hope this is more clear and in no conflict with common terminology.
