Abstract
lines on a white background.
Each line Maze has a start point and a finish point, the robot expected to follow the line from start point until reach finish point, the Line Maze also include a number of dead-end paths, so the robot can’t traverse the maze without going through number of wrong paths.
The robot will use Left Hand Rule, which mean:
➢ Robot prefer to turn left over going right or going straight ahead.
➢ Robot prefer to going straight over turn right.
If the Maze has no loops the robot will reach the finish point.
The robot will use five infrared sensors, the sensors shine visible or infrared light down on the floor and measure the reflection, using 1 to mean “Sensor sees black” and 0 to mean “Sensor sees white”, it will also use Arduino to control the robot.
In order to solve the Maze, the robot needs to traverse the Maze twice, In the first run, it goes down some numbers of dead-ends, but records these as “bad” paths so that they can be avoided on the second run. It’s important to mention that it doesn’t matter where you start inside the Maze, you will always reach the finish point unless you enter a loop.
