Abstract

A micromouse is a small microprocessor-controlled robot vehicle, which is able to navigate its way through an unknown maze and to negotiate this path in the shortest time. The main challenge for the micromouse handler is to impart to the micromouse an adaptive intelligence, to explore di ffe rent maze configuration and to work out the optimum route for the shortest run time from start to destination; and to design a reliable micromouse which will negotiate the maze at very high speed without crashing into the walls of the maze. The micromouse will consist if four section, the drive section, the sensor section, the control section and also the power source. The power source will have to be capable to provide power for the drive system, sensors and the controller. The drive section will consist of motor to move the micromouse, and feedback to sense the distance the micromouse has travel. The sensors will employ the use of infrared sensor for line detection, and ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoiding. Lastly, microcontro ller (s) will be used as the controller for the micromouse, preferably the MC9S 12C32 microcontroller from Freescale Semiconductor.
