Algorithms: Step-by-Step Instructions
Robots do not think for themselves — they follow PROGRAMS written by humans. A program is a list of instructions called an ALGORITHM. An algorithm is like a recipe: step 1, step 2, step 3. For a robot to navigate a maze: 1) Move forward, 2) If wall ahead, turn right, 3) If wall on right, turn left, 4) Repeat. Simple rules can create surprisingly smart behavior!
