Project

Micromouse Maze Solver

Autonomous maze-navigation robot designed for Micromouse events, focusing on robust wall sensing and exploration behaviour.

Problem Statement

Navigate unknown mazes consistently within competition time limits while handling sensing noise and tight turns.

System Design

Compact differential-drive platform with sharp IR wall sensors, layered state machine for exploration, and motion primitives for maze cells and turns.

Key Challenges

Achieving reliable wall-distance estimation in noisy environments and maintaining path stability through repeated runs of the maze.

Results

1st place at the Micromouse Challenge, IIT BHU Technex, with further finals appearances at other national events.
