I- Project description
The maze-solving robot - also known as the micro-mouse - is designed
to find a path without any assistance or help. As a type of autonomous robot, it
must decode the path himself to successfully solve the maze. His logic is therefore
quite different from that of the line-following robot that follows a predetermined route.

III- Project Context
The maze-solving robot is designed to navigate through a maze and find the
exit, using a combination of sensors to find the direction to follow, by him-
even without human intervention.
1- Our objectives:
The objectives of a maze-solving robot are to:
navigate through a given maze and reach the endpoint as quickly as possible, all
by avoiding obstacles and dead ends using algorithms.
Improvement of resolution time: The robot can be designed to improve its time of
resolution using advanced sensors and machine learning techniques.
Adaptation to changing environments: the robot can be designed to adapt to
changing environments, such as mazes with moving obstacles or
dynamic lighting conditions.
The advantages of a maze-solving robot are:
Efficiency: a robot can navigate through a maze quickly and efficiently, finding
potentially the solution faster than a human.
Repeatability: A robot can be programmed to solve the same task multiple times.
maze, which allows for obtaining coherent and precise results.
Exploration: a robot can be used to explore and map environments
unknown or dangerous, such as disaster areas or underground caves.
Autonomy: A robot can operate autonomously, without human intervention, this
which allows for increased security and flexibility.
Educational: a maze-solving robot can be used as a learning tool for
teaching programming, robotics, and problem-solving.

V- Security
A safety section for a maze-solving robot may include the following elements
following:
Safety measures: The robot must be designed and built with safety in mind, in order to
minimize the risk of injury to humans and other living beings.
Emergency stop: The robot must be equipped with an emergency stop function, allowing to
the operator to immediately stop the robot's movement in case of emergency.
Obstacle detection and avoidance: the robot must be able to detect and avoid obstacles.
obstacles in its path, in order to avoid collisions and damage to the robot and its
environment.
Encryption and data security: the robot must be designed to protect data
sensitive, such as navigation charts and sensor data, against unauthorized access
authorized or forgery.
Compliance: The robot must comply with all laws, regulations, and standards.
industrial matters related to safety and security.
Academic year: 2022/2023
Risk assessment: the robot designer must conduct a risk assessment.
to identify potential hazards and take measures to mitigate them.
Firewall and intrusion detection: the robot must be equipped with a firewall and an intrusion detection system.
intrusion detection capable of detecting and preventing any unauthorized access to the system
robot control.
Access control: The robot must have an access control system that limits access.
to the robot and to the maze for authorized personnel only.
Logging and auditing: the robot must keep a log of all its activities and all
its movements, in order to allow for auditing and troubleshooting in case of problems.
VI- Budget
The budget of a maze robot can vary depending on the complexity of the project, the type of
sensors and actuators used, as well as materials and manufacturing processes
requirements. A basic prototype of a maze-solving robot using simple sensors,
such as infrared or ultrasonic sensors, and a microcontroller or a microprocessor
A basic version can cost between a few hundred and a few thousand dinars. A more
advancement of a maze robot, with advanced sensors, computer vision and
machine learning capabilities can cost tens of thousands of dinars. Moreover,
the cost of the robot will also depend on the size and complexity of the maze, as well as
the number of mazes that the robot will be able to manage. Moreover, if a robot is intended for a
commercial or industrial use, the cost of certification and compliance with standards of
The industry must also be taken into account.
It is also important to note that the cost of the robot does not stop after the initial purchase, as
maintenance continues, software updates and repairs will also need to be
taken into account in the budget.
In summary, the budget for a maze-solving robot can range from a few hundred dinars.
for a basic prototype costing tens of thousands of dinars for a more advanced version,
depending on the complexity of the project, the type of sensors and actuators used, and the size and
complexity of the labyrinth
Future scope:
The future of maze robots is exciting and offers many possibilities. Here is
some areas in which maze-solving robots are likely to
develop further
Machine learning and artificial intelligence: with the advances in learning
automatic and artificial intelligence, maze-solving robots will be able to
learn from their experiences and improve their navigation skills over time.
-Navigation in unknown environments: maze-solving robots will be
used to explore and map unknown environments such as mines
underground areas, disaster-stricken zones, and extraterrestrial surfaces.
Real-time mapping: maze-solving robots will be able to create maps in
real-time information about their environment, enabling enhanced navigation and localization.
Collaborative robots: maze-solving robots will be able to work in teams, with
several robots collaborating to solve a complex maze.
Human-robot interaction: maze-solving robots will be designed to interact.
with humans, for example, to receive orders and provide feedback.
Academic year: 2022/2023
-Autonomous delivery: Maze solver robots will be used to deliver goods
in warehouses and factories, as well as in public spaces like centers
commercial, airports, and hospitals.
Search and rescue: Maze-solving robots will be used in the
search and rescue operations in hazardous environments, such as
collapsed buildings or underwater caves.
Overall, the future of maze robots is promising and will bring many
advantages in various fields such as industry, logistics and exploration, while
offering new opportunities for research and development.
