Vehicles

An implementation of Valentino Braitenberg’s thought experiments.

These robots interact with the environment and move around based on simple rules. If you are sarcastic, you may call them microserfs.

...it has two sensors, one on each side, and two motors, right and left (Vehicle 2)

...the activation of a certain sensor will make the corresponding motor run faster, but only up to a point, where the speed of the motor reaches a maximum. Beyond this point, if the sensor is activated even more strongly, the speed will decrease again (Vehicle 4)
