Overview Braitenberg vehicles Alive vehicle Coward, aggressive vehicle If, else if, else Reactive behaviors

Braitenberg Vehicles Simple rules exhibit complex behavior A simple vehicle with a small suite of sensors and motors Law of uphill analysis and downhill invention

Alive One sensor and one motor Direct relationship between sensor and motor ▫Use input from sensor to directly drive robot motors(c, c) or forward(c)

Coward & Aggresive Two sensors to feed each motor individually Left & right sensors feed the left & right motors, respectively ▫Coward Left & right sensors feed the right & left motors, respectively ▫Aggresive
