This paper presents two-dimensional mobile robot simulator written in Java. Robot performs autonomous navigation based on infrared sensors. Sensing range and angle can be adjusted in real-time. Obstacle detection an avoidance algorithm was implemented. In this paper, the wall-following problem for mobile robot in the presence of sensors faults is considered in detail. Time related method of robot orientation relative to the wall is shown. A few experimental tests are reported to discuss the robustness of control algorithm and verify simulations results.
