dc.description.abstract | An autonomous robot system which exists in physical world, can sense its environment and
act on the inputs to achieve some goals without any human intervention.
Maze solving problem is a very old problem, but still now it is considered as an important
field of robotics. The main aim of this project is to make an Arduino based efficient
autonomous maze solver robot. For solving the maze, the robot will need to follow the path
on the maze which it does by using the ultra-sonic sensor. In this work we have used a
microcontroller (Arduino UNO) to control the whole process. There are two methods by
which we can solve the maze i.e. the default left and default right algorithm. We have used
the default left algorithm for solving the maze where the robot takes a right turn wherever
possible. A 7.5V battery is supplying the required power. The robot hence trained will be able
to solve the maze without any intervention. The algorithm which can be used to find an
optimal solution for the same, which it does by following the path of cells backwards to the
start once the finish location is found is also discussed in this work. In this project Hardware
development, software development and maze construction had been done. For performance
testing, the robot will implement to solve the maze. | en_US |
