Abstract
Environment exploration is an essential task in robotics, but it requires lots of high-tech sensors, which will make the robot very costly. To complete the exploration, a huge number of robots are required. Then, how to explore an unknown environment using simple robots with simple sensors is a significant problem to be studied. In this paper, robots are built based on Braitenberg Vehicle 4 and the robots are made to explore an unknown environment without a human. Braitenberg Vehicles are a series concept created by V. Braitenberg. Braitenberg Vehicle 4, particularly, is a robot that only has reflection level intelligence. The Robot’s logic is only four parts, going straight, turning left, turning right, and turning around. The simplicity of the design allows putting the Robot into mass production. MATLAB is used to simulate the working process of the Robot to test the Robot’s feasibility. Then, the map drawn by the Robot with the actual environment is compared. The result has shown that the map we got is almost the same as the real surroundings.
