The WonderBorg's Intelligence
(i.e. the Program)
The robot’s sensors and its movements are linked together by the program, which could
be called the WonderBorg’s "intelligence".
For example, you could program the WonderBorg as follows: "if either antenna sensor
reacts, turn four steps to the right " and "if there is nothing there, move forward
(advanced)". In this case, the WonderBorg will change direction when it bumps into an
obstacle, as shown in the illustration below. If none of the Sensors are activated,
the WonderBorg will walk forward.
To make the WonderBorg Change direction when it bumps into an obstacle:
Example:
-
If either antenna sensor
reacts, turn four steps to
the right.
- If there is nothing there,
move forward.
Nothing there,
so advance
forward
Antenna touched
object, so turn 4
steps to the right
Nothing there, so
advance forward
