Gallery > Maze Solving Robot

In this project, a student from the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts, used a Machine Science robot kit to test various maze-solving designs. The video to the right shows several different algorithms that he used to negotiate a labyrinth-style maze. (Labyrinth-style mazes are constructed so that no part of a maze is isolated from the rest and all walls are continuous. This unique characteristic allows a robot to follow a wall from the beginning of a maze and be guaranteed to reach its end.)
