This adds autonomy to the little robot, which you can see running some obstacle avoidance routines in the video after the break. We’ve asked [Rob] if is able to share his code and will update ...

Tiny BOT is a simple obstacle avoiding robot with two wheels that can be fabricated using a handful of generally available and inexpensive discrete components. The robot can perform avoidance ...

We’re all pretty well-acquainted with the obstacle avoiding robot. These little inventions use a proximity sensor to detect an object in front of the robot, then circumvent the object accordi… ...

But in a bold move, researchers have built a speedy robot with a 'brain' based on the insect's low-energy, highly efficient navigational neural network.

soft robot that can move around without human or computer input. The research team has announced that soft robots that look like pasta also have the ability to clear obstacles and move forward. In ...

The MIT robot has no cameras or external environmental sensors, instead relying on software and touch sensors in its limbs to predict its surroundings.

Without breaking its stride, the robot charges forward then dives down to scramble underneath an obstacle in a motion resembling a scouring insect.
