I’m guessing this is for a platformer and not a top-down. What do you want it to do? walk around, interact with things, etc?

Timers that repeat forever, simply just make a random router with 4 different choices that make them get a velocity for a bit.

Repeating timer that goes in a router (lets say it has 12 outputs) make the timer select the router and make the router random in the settings options. Then make 4 of the 12 outputs get a direction of movement (5 velocity x, then wait 2 seconds then set x velocity to 0)

So what galactian said works, another method you can use is with ray casts. So when the ray cast hits a wall it turns around and walks in the other direction, and if you have a ray cast pointing downwards you can also make it turn around if it gets to an edge.
