Abstract
A robot is provided. The robot includes a main body, one or more wheels coupled to the main body, one or more elastic members coupled to the main body, a disc coupled to the one or more elastic members, and one or more sensors. The disc is configured to move relative to the main body in response to a force exerted against the disc. The one or more sensors may detect a dislocation of the disc relative to the main body in response to the force exerted against the disc.
