obstacle avoidance
Obstacle avoidance is the artful dance of veering away from every conceivable impediment, packaged as an elegant algorithm. Beneath its graceful path planning lies a ceaseless generation of sensor-based excuses. Whenever it stumbles, it recalculates in a loop of justifications until the goal is reached. Like human pain avoidance, it transforms evading obstacles into an end in itself, seducing us with the illusion of an optimal path.
