Design, build, and program a robot to autonomously navigate a maze using color codes at key points along the wall indicating which direction it should move next.

This was a team project where I took the lead on programming the robot to navigate the maze autonomously using onboard sensors. I also helped with CAD design, assembly, and electrical debugging.

The robot sucessfully and reliably completed the maze and was marked with full credits.

This project gave me a better appreciation of the advantages and disadvantages of using various types of sensor input in robotic feedback. It also allowed me to improve my understanding of PID control and feedback loops by applying them in programming.
