This video shows the simulation of proximity sensors in the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP: http://www.v-rep.eu ). Several types of proximity sensors are supported: ray, pyramid, cylinder, disc and cone. This video shows a mobile robot equipped with 5 cone-type proximity sensor (ultrasonic sensors) used for obstacle avoidance, and a 2D laser scanner (made with a ray-type proximity sensor). The laser scanner data is not used for navigation in this demo, it is just displayed for demonstration purposes.

    It is a simple obstacle avoidance algo based on Braitenberg. Basically moving away from obstacles, i.e. if an obstacle is closer to the robot's left side, then it will turn right, and vice-versa

  • How does it choose if it wants to go to the left or the right?
