In this paper we discuss a new approach for developing useful robotic systems. The main idea is to simplify the robotic systems by eliminating the sensory and control hardware from the robotic platform. Such `sensor-less' systems have significant advantages over the more traditional `sensor-driven' systems. The paper demonstrates the efficacy of this new approach for autonomous navigation of removing robots that require no onboard sensing or control.
