“…According to the article "The development of a half-size micromouse and its application in mobile robot education" [1], the challenge is not only to build a robot that resolves mazes but one that move more efficiently and is smaller and lighter as possible. Therefore following the Harvardrobotics team in the 2016 Brown IEEE Micromouse Competition [4], this kind of robot is usually integrated by: 3 IR distance sensors and 2 Hall Effect motor encoders to determine the robot's position and orientation as well as for detecting walls; powered by 2 DC motors, controlled through an H-bridge motor controller via a pulse-width modulated signal; using an Arduino micro that Integrates the information from onboard sensors into a flood-fill maze navigation algorithm; using a simple design of a rectangular and small chassis with two regular wheels and a caster wheel.…”

“…The sensor arrangement (2 facing the front and two on diagonal to each side-Figure 8) was thought to make the most precise and economical collection of information for the robot to move and map the maze. That makes better modeling of surroundings than the traditional way to use 3 sensors (1 in the front and one on each side) like the Harvard robotics team in the 2016 Brown IEEE MicromouseCompetition [4], or save to use 8 IR sensors like the model of Lunghwa University of Science and Technology in Taiwan [1].…”

“…Therefore, this educational topic was discussed at the 2016 International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Systems and stated, "It is found that the micromouse is an excellent topic for students to learn the implementation of mobile robots because it contains multidisciplinary knowledge and skills."

The present article discusses the development of the Jabuti Project, which consists of a micromouse, a maze solver robot. The project mainly aims to build a low-cost robot and to assist university students in the practical study of robotics. To solve the maze, a wall-follower algorithm was implemented for anarduino, and stepper motors constituted a PCB of the project to provide more stability to the robot, infrared sensors for area recognition, and a caster wheel to direct it. In conclusion, the circuit parts will be estimated to be assembled and integrated to implement the developed logic with tests in the physical prototype.

The emphasis on the autonomy of all production facilities is increasing. It is normal that the company's goal is to constantly increase its profits and thanks to automation to win the competition. In order to verify real solutions, simulation models could often be created before a real project. This saves time and investment in development. Deployment of a robotic mouse (micromouse) in production or other processes is becoming an increasingly common step. This article describes one of the ways to create a simulation model of a micromouse that will move around the labyrinth. The task of the robot is to reach the target position in the uncharted labyrinth. The goal is for the robot to avoids all obstacles on its way from the starting position to the end. The current program needs human intervention in control. However, we can say that this environment serves as a “cornerstone” for the further development of an autonomous control system. So far, we are considering the simple complexity of the labyrinth.
