Abstract

A key feature of an autonomous vehicle is the ability to get to a target location while traversing through a previously unknown environment. Mapping the environment will allow the vehicle to find an optimum path. This paper explores this issue by programming a mobile robot to find the shortest route in a reconfigurable maze. A wall follower algorithm with combined left-hand and right-hand rules is implemented upon several different maze configurations. It is found that the hybrid algorithm has improved the maze solving capabilities of the maze robot significantly.
