About the Project

Our goal is to design and build a fully autonomous robotic mouse capable of mapping and solving an unknown 16×16 maze, then executing an optimized speed run from start to center. The system integrates custom hardware, embedded firmware, and a flood-fill–based search algorithm to achieve reliable, repeatable performance.

The project encompasses hardware design (custom PCB, sensor selection, motor drive), software development (sensor calibration, motion control, maze-solving algorithms), and physical/mechanical design (chassis, wheel and sensor placement).
