Abstract

Autonomous robots are intelligent machines that are capable of performing task in the world themselves with little or no human intervention. One of the main reason autonomous robots gained popularity in human's world is their ability to perform task with high degree of precision, accuracy and also consistency. One of the most studied fields in autonomous robot is the ability of decision making in robots. To tackle the ability of robots to make decision, this paper proposed an Autonomous Maze Solving Robot that is able to solve a maze using the optimum solution. The maze and the design of the robot are in compliance with IEEE Micromouse competition rules and regulation. Micromouse is an autonomous maze solving robot that shall be able to explore a maze on its own from a predefined starting location and find the optimum path to reach the predefined goal in the maze without human's intervention.
