1Explanation for Sample Output 2
The empty cell to the immediate left of the robot is seen by the camera so the robot cannot move there.
The empty cell right below the R conveyor is also seen by the camera as conveyors do not block
the sight of cameras.
Note that the robot can use the U and L conveyors to avoid getting caught by the camera.
If the robot moves to the R conveyor, it will become stuck there forever.
