The robot currently has no bumpers. I'm considering making a tiny version of the KR01's polycarbonate bumpers, or perhaps a pair of piano wire feelers. At this point the robot will be relying entirely on its infrared sensors. We'll see how this works out.
This robot uses 47mm "Moon Buggy" wheels and ball casters. The fore caster is mounted a bit higher than the aft caster, so (hopefully) it won't snag on things. Absent a bumper this is a possibility. The robot is fine on wood floors and low-pile carpets, and can navigate between them without incident. There's a Kilim rug in the lounge (owned by the cat) that has a 15mm edge which has proved impossible for the robot to surmount. It just pushes up against that edge and spins its wheels.

This points out the fact that robot currently has no bumpers. I'm considering making a tiny version of the KR01's polycarbonate bumpers, or perhaps a pair of piano wire feelers. The robot is currently relying entirely on its infrared sensors. We'll see how this works out, but given it can hang up on the cat carpet perhaps a bumper is in order.
