Pinky
|
Xuan Gu
|
Pinky is a "Micro Mouse" robot that travels through a maze, maps its course, and finds the shortest possible path to the destination. Autonomous behaviors such as wall collision avoidance, wall gap detection, high precision steering control, and a maze solving algorithm were implemented to achieve the objectives of a "Micro Mouse" robot.
