+
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
+- [rerun-cli](https://rerun.io/docs/getting-started/installing-viewer)
 
 ### Installation from Crates.io
 
 ```bash
-cargo install rerun-cli # ensure you installed rerun-cli>=0.19.0 by checking rerun --version
+# Install rerun-cli (ensure version >= 0.19.0)
+cargo install rerun-cli
 cargo install peng_quad
 peng_quad config/quad.yaml
 ```
 
 ### Installation from Source
 
 ```bash
+# Install rerun-cli (ensure version >= 0.19.0)
 cargo install rerun-cli
-git clone https://github.com/makeecat/Peng.git && cd Peng
+git clone https://github.com/makeecat/Peng.git
+cd Peng
 cargo run --release config/quad.yaml
 ```
 
-You can configure the simulation through config file, see [quad.yaml](config/quad.yaml) for example.
-
-Please follow [rerun troubleshooting](https://rerun.io/docs/getting-started/troubleshooting) if you are using Linux or WSL2.
-
-## Overview
-
-### Quadrotor Simulator
-
-Simulates realistic quadrotor dynamics with properties like position, velocity, orientation, angular velocity, mass, and inertia. Includes methods for updating dynamics with control inputs and simulating IMU readings and Depth map rendering.
-
-### PID Controller
+## ⚙️ Configuration
 
-Controls position and attitude with configurable gains for proportional, integral, and derivative terms. Handles both position and attitude control.
+- You can configure the simulation through config file, see [quad.yaml](config/quad.yaml) for example.
+- Configure simulation parameters such as mass, inertia, and control gains.
+- Configure control parameters such as PID gains.
+- Configure trajectory planner parameters such as waypoints, obstacles, and trajectory type.
+- Configure visualization parameters such as camera intrinsics and depth rendering.
 
-### Trajectory Planners
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
 
-Includes multiple planners:
+If you encountered any issue with the rerun:
 
-- Hover Planner
-- Minimum Jerk Line Planner
-- Lissajous Curve Planner
-- Circular Trajectory Planner
-- Landing Planner
-- Obstacle Avoidance Planner
-- Waypoint Planner
+1. Verify rerun-cli version matches rerun version in [Cargo.toml](https://github.com/makeecat/Peng/blob/main/Cargo.toml):
 
-### Obstacle Simulation
-
-Simulates moving obstacles in the environment, with collision detection and avoidance capabilities based on potential field.
-
-### Data Logging and Visualization
+```bash
+rerun --version
+```
 
-Logs comprehensive simulation data including quadrotor state, desired positions, IMU readings, and depth map rendering. Visualizes the simulation using the rerun library.
+2. For Linux/WSL2 users, consult the [rerun troubleshooting](https://rerun.io/docs/getting-started/troubleshooting).

-## Why call it Peng?
-
-Peng (traditional Chinese: 鵬; simplified Chinese: 鹏; pinyin: péng; Wade–Giles: p'eng) or Dapeng (大鵬) is a giant bird that transforms from a Kun (鯤; 鲲; kūn; k'un) giant fish in Chinese mythology.

-The pipeline is designed to be minimal and for educational purpose.
-We chose the name Peng because our pipeline is flexible and can transform to suit different needs, just like the mythical bird.
