Abstract
The purpose of this project is to design a prototype which is capable of solving maze. The major feature of this robot is that it doesn't require someone to control it and its real time decision making. The project started from a simple idea of puzzle solving game that was transformed into practical concept. This practical phase finally transformed into different phases. The visions and concepts from the theoretical stages are shaped into the physical hardware components by fabrication of a prototype and coding was integrated into the system. The designed robot is capable to find the path through the maze and searches for an exit. The detection of the path is done using a technique called “Left/Right hand rule”. The robot works in automatic mode in which it searches the path and detects dead ends and tries to find exit of maze. The robot travels at moderate speed continuously detecting the closed ends using sensors. The reliability of this maze solver entirely depends on sensors usage. The platform of maze solver is versatile enough to accommodate any future development without affecting the main working of project. This project will create an interesting opportunity for students to try to use their coding and logical skills in implementing maze solving.
