Abstract

Braitenberg vehicles have been used for decades on an empirical basis to implement different tasks. Grounded on a mathematical model of vehicle 2b, this paper presents empirical evidence that some theoretical results from billiard ball dynamics can be used to analyse the behaviour of the vehicle. The possibility to use such vehicles to cover a region is presented as a consequence of the its behaviour.
