The scorpion robot, built using advanced technology, possesses a complex structure.
Even though a great many scientists and engineers worked on this robot, it can only
travel towards a pre-established target.

1. When the robot scorpion encounters a rock, first it scans it with ultrasound to decide
whether it’s too high to climb.
2. The robot moves away from the obstacle and goes around it, looking for a gap with
one sensor and looking forward with the other.
3. On finding a gap, it determines whether it is wide enough to pass through.
4. Once it moves through the gap, the scorpion moves on towards its target.
