Braitenberg Vehicles

Braitenberg Vehicles are simple robotic models that demonstrate how basic sensor input can lead to complex behaviors. They consist of sensors (like light or touch detectors) connected directly to motors without complex programming. For example, a vehicle might turn towards or away from light sources depending on how sensors influence motor power. These vehicles illustrate how simple connections and rules can produce adaptive actions, serving as educational tools in robotics and cognitive science to understand how biological systems might process information and generate behavior from straightforward mechanisms.
