The application of quantum computation and information in robotics has caughtthe attention of researchers off late. The field of robotics has always put itseffort on the minimization of the space occupied by the robot, and on makingthe robot `smarter. `The smartness of a robot is its sensitivity to itssurroundings and the user input and its ability to react upon them desirably.Quantum phenomena in robotics make sure that the robots occupy less space andthe ability of quantum computation to process the huge amount of informationeffectively, consequently making the robot smarter. Braitenberg vehicle is asimple circuited robot that moves according to the input that its sensorsreceive. Building upon that, we propose a quantum robot vehicle that is `smart'enough to understand the complex situations more than that of a simpleBraitenberg vehicle and navigate itself as per the obstacles present. It candetect an obstacle-free path and can navigate itself accordingly. It also takesinput from the user when there is more than one free path available. When leftwith no option on the ground, it can airlift itself off the ground. As thesevehicles sort of `react to the surrounding conditions, this idea can be used tobuild artificial life and genetic algorithms, space exploration and deep-earthexploration probes, and a handy tool in defense and intelligence services.
