Mobile robots use various ways to detect obstacles. Perhaps the simplest, is by whiskers which touch an obstacle and signal this fact. Then there is a sonar method,which can tell both direction and distance to a (reflective) obstacle.

If a flood light is used, then the returned light bounced back can indicate an approach to an obstacle.

Radar can help fast moving robots. If a robot can measure or calculate its current position, then this can be compared to an internally stored map of obstacles.

What do people know about cockroach robots?

"Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot" is an experimental robotic system that translates the bodily movements of a living, organic insect into the physical locomotion of a three-wheeled robot. Distance sensors at the front of the robot also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU. This project is motivated by three key concepts: 1. Biomimetics, 2. The Cyborg, and 3. The Computational/Biological.
