    • A vehicle (100) includes a body (102) having a first outer periphery (122A, 122B) in a first plane parallel to a surface (104) on which the vehicle (100) moves in a horizontal direction;
      a bumper assembly (110) having a second outer periphery (124A, 124B) in a second plane parallel to the first plane and including portions that extend beyond the first outer periphery (122A, 122B);
      one or more flexible couplings (120) coupling the bumper assembly (110) to the body (102) and allowing for horizontal planar deflection of the bumper assembly (110) relative to the body (102) when the bumper assembly (110) impacts an obstacle;
      one or more sensors (360A, 360B) mounted to detect planar deflection of the bumper assembly (110) and being configured to generate signals indicating the bumper assembly (110) has deflected at least a threshold amount;
      and a drive system configured to propel the vehicle (100) and, in response to the signals indicating the bumper assembly (110) has deflected at least a threshold amount, cause the vehicle (100) to stop moving.
