This paper is about a robot that would be able to solve mazes or labyrinths and look for the exit. The project will utilize the PIC microcontroller. This is like those in the micromouse competitions since it resembles a mouse put in a labyrinth searching for its cheese. This would also implement the Wall Follower algorithm to solve the maze and will use proximity sensors to detect the walls of the labyrinth. The robot would be as small as possible as to make its navigation of the maze more efficient in terms of turning left or right, or even doing a full U-turn since a bulky robot would have a hard time navigating the turns in the maze. This project would also require an 8x8-tiled square maze to effectively apply the algorithm and to have a test labyrinth to work on.
