Maze Mouse

This report is intended to provide an insight view of the Maze Mouse project. The
first chapter serves astheintroduction to theproject, which covers the background of
study, problem statement, and objectives and scope of study. The objective of this
project is to produce a prototype of a mouse that can find itsown way out of a maze
smoothly, butnot necessarily very quickly. This will be explained later in the report.
This project requires strong basics in electronics, covering three important aspects of
the mouse which are microcontroller, infrared sensor and stepper motor. The earlier
partof the second chapter describes the details of the Sterling Mouse, an example of
a mazemouse. The Sterling Mouse was created by Nick Smith as a participant in the
Micromouse Competition held in the United States. The third chapter of this report
presents the methodology used in completing thisMaze Mouse project. This includes
the purchasing and procurement of the components, circuit construction,
programming and integration of the mouse's separate circuits. In the next chapter,
you will be provided with the details of the project work, which focuses on howthe
prototype gets to work.
