Maze Solving Robot using Arduino

Abstract

Maze solving problem is a completely old problem, but still now it's far taken into consideration as an essential area of robotics. This area is based on decision making algorithms. The most important goal of this mission is to make an arduino based efficient independent maze solver robot. To implement in real time hardware development, software program development and maze creation have been done. Capability of finding the shortest direction is also verified. A maze solving robot is quite just like a line follower which has simply to follow a predetermined row isn't always recognized beforehand. However, this robotic is designed to be independent, they essentially carry out different tasks. Autonomous navigation is a essential generation that allows a mobile robot to transport independently and navigating via unknown regions which might be not possible for human to venture because of problem of physical capabilities or maybe danger that can threaten life. By solving a maze, the algorithms and behavior of the robot may be studied and improved. Detection of walls and starting in the maze had been accomplished the use of ultrasonic range-finders. The robot will be capable of analyze the maze, discover all possible routes and resolve it the use of the shortest one. For the proposed design a wall following algorithm is used. The constructed robot obtain input from ultrasonic sensor, and wheel rotation encoders and then make decision to solve the maze. One of the best application of this designed robot could be for navigational purpose. On the basis of navigation, a Arduino based robot was constructed.
