Obstacle avoidance

<p>Obstacle avoidance, in <a href="/facts/Robotics/wkmvodJz">robotics</a>, is a critical aspect of autonomous navigation and control systems. It is the capability of a <a href="/facts/Robot/S5mDzWYk">robot</a> or an <a href="/facts/Autonomous/5ne4C7N8">autonomous</a> system/machine to detect and circumvent obstacles in its path to reach a predefined destination. This technology plays a pivotal role in various fields, including industrial automation, self-driving cars, drones, and even space exploration. <a href="/facts/Obstacle/fGDHuJxY">Obstacle</a> avoidance enables robots to operate safely and efficiently in dynamic and complex environments, reducing the risk of collisions and damage.
</p><p>For a robot or autonomous system to successfully navigate through obstacles, it must be able to detect such obstacles. This is most commonly done through the use of <a href="/facts/Sensor/RN8SXbjs">sensors</a>, which allow the robot to process its environment, make a decision on what it must do to avoid an obstacle, and carry out that decision with the use of its effectors, or tools that allow a robot to interact with its environment.
