## Abstract

Quantum Robot is an excellent future application that can be achieved with the help of a quantum computer. As a practical example, quantum controlled Braitenberg vehicles proposed by Raghuvanshi et al. [Proceedings of the 37th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (2007)] is a mobile quantum system and hence acts as a quantum robot. Braitenberg vehicles are simple circuit robots which can experience natural behaviours like fear, aggression and love etc. These robots can be controlled by quantum circuits incorporating quantum principles such as entanglement and superposition. Complex behaviours can be mimicked by a quantum circuit that can be implemented in a quantum robot. Here we investigate the scheme of Raghuvanshi et al. and propose a new quantum circuit to make the quantum robot fly. We demonstrate one of its application in playing a game. The quantum robot we present here shows the behaviour of `fear' and its movement is deterministic in nature. This phenomenon can be successfully modelled in a game, where it can always avoid accident. The proposed quantum circuit is designed in IBM quantum experience describing the above protocol.
