17. A method allowing a moving leader to maintain proximity with a robot, the method comprising:
-
providing a robot having a proximity maintaining functionality which allows the robot, except under non traversable conditions, to move in a direction which maintains leader-robot proximity; and if said non traversable conditions exist, alerting the moving leader to move from his current position back to the robot'"'"'s current position and then to select a path other than that which the leader used previously, by which to move from the robot'"'"'s current position to the leader'"'"'s former current position.
