The maze solving robot fully assembled and running.
CADD design of mechanical gantry system.
Completed gantry system before the incorporation of the computing and electrical systems.
Flow chart explaining the logic route taken by the robot. This pattern was based on following the right wall of the maze.

Maze Solving Robot
With a team of 3 mechanical engineers, we designed, constructed, and programmed a gantry based robot capable of solving a black-and-white paper maze while storing its path in memory. Upon finding the exit to the maze, the robot would return to the starting position without taking wrong turns. My contribution to this project was the design and building of the gantry system and developing the path storage algorithm.
