What is MazeX 1.0?
MazeX 1.0 is an intra-university Micromouse Robotics Competition. It is a technical initiative designed to push the boundaries of robotics through hands-on engineering.
A preliminary workshop will introduce micromouse concepts, maze solving techniques, and robot design — giving all participants practical experience in robotics, embedded systems, and algorithm development.

What is a Micromouse?
A Micromouse is a small, fully autonomous robot that navigates and solves a maze in the shortest possible time with no human intervention. It uses sensors to detect walls, processes data using onboard microcontrollers, and applies maze-solving algorithms to find the optimal path.
Fully Autonomous
No remote control
Sensor-Driven
IR or ultrasonic sensors
Algorithm-Powered
Flood-fill & more
