Development of a Maze-Solving Robot Using the Wall-Following Algorithm

Autonomous robots are among the advanced technologies designed using microcontrollers to perform complex tasks in specific environments. These robots can move automatically and collect data, such as Mars rovers and home automatic vacuum cleaners. In this project, using an Arduino UNO board, ultrasonic sensors, an L۲۹۸ motor driver, a ۳.۷V lithium battery, DC geared motors, and a robot chassis, we have designed a maze-solving robot capable of finding its path in a maze and reaching its goal using sensor data and a PD controller. The algorithm used in this project is called the 'Wall-Follower' algorithm, which helps the robot navigate through the maze and move toward the destination by calculating its distance from the surrounding walls. Mazes are a popular tool for testing learning capabilities in intelligent systems, and mastering maze-solving algorithms can aid in optimizing pathways and reducing costs in various applications, such as cable routing and circuit design.
