wall-e

A robot that has the ability to navigate through a simple maze consisting of 90 degree turns with full automation - hopefully achieving an artificial intelligence.

Ninety-Degree Maze-Solving Robot

This repository holds the code for a 90° maze-solving robot car. Named after Wall•E because ultrasonic sensors look like the eyes of Wall•E! This was a beginner’s robotics project I did once. I reset the repository because of some insecurities, but I’m going to keep it up for posterity.

Note: The code was last touched on May 22, 2022. I’m not sure if it works anymore, but it should. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Purpose

The Robot Script is designed to have a constant flow of four-way proximity between the robot and walls surrounding it. Using Ultrasonic sound transmitters, we can gather this information every (approx. :/) 2 seconds. Using the temperature sensor, we can calculate proximity using the Speed of Sound.

Pseudo Logic

See the ‘flowchart‘

Why?

For a Destination Imagination Challenge :). It also incorporates sound science and mathematics for the execution of movement functions.
