and layout of the world are the decisive
factors. This is easy to see by how this
goes. The robot sets off then collides with
the wall. A series of collision take place
and robot reacts accordingly but as the
robot progresses along the wall it travels
gradually to cells with a weaker signal
reading until finally the robot reaches a
point beyond the wall. Thus the collision
behaviour dictates its direction along the
wall but then the seeking and drive
behaviours take over once the robot is

positioned beyond the obstacle.
Algorithm 2 - Simulation end time: 8.370
This case is very similar and symmetrical
to the previous case and similar arguments
apply.

Algorithm 3 - Simulation end time: 43.755
Still performing worse than the other two
algorithms here. Seems the algorithm is
performing poorly with a symmetrical
shape.
