A Simple Obstacle-Avoidance Algorithm

From ROBOTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE by Sam

Concepts

1. Decision Rule

   "The following Python example illustrates a basic decision rule. The distance value is assumed to come from a working sensor driver.\n\ndef choose_action(distance_cm):\n\nif distance_cm < 20:\n\nretur

2. Robot Limitations

   "This example demonstrates decision logic only. It does not operate actual motors or implement complete obstacle avoidance. A real robot also needs calibrated sensing, motor control, emergency stoppin
