5. Safety, Ethics and Accessibility Notes
Battery and wiring safety must be checked before powering the robot.
All tasks are possible to be performed in simulation if physical robot is not available
6. Scenario and Problem Statement
[Write a short real-world scenario explaining why this activity matters. Example: The robot must detect an obstacle, interpret sensor data and decide a safe movement strategy.]
