What Is Micromouse Autonomous Maze Robotics?
Micromouse is a robotics challenge format, not one IEEE-administered program. Builders design a self-contained autonomous robot that senses and maps an unknown maze, finds the goal and attempts a fast optimized run. Classic events often use a 16×16 maze, but dimensions, scoring, time limits, team rules and robot classes vary.
Independent organizers include APEC in the United States, the New Technology Foundation's regional and All Japan contests, UKMARS in the United Kingdom and youth-specific organizers such as Thailand's NSTDA. Some events welcome secondary students; others are university, conference, open or qualification-based. Fees range from free to organizer-specific, and deadlines are entirely event-specific.
