 What is a Micro Mouse
A Micro Mouse is an
miniature electro-mechanical
robot, typically consisting of
three main subsystems:
1. The drive system
2. An array of sensors, and
3. The control system.

Its purpose is to find its way

through ANY type of maze -
in the shortest amount of
time.
It integrates several different disciplines of engineering, ranging from electrical to
mechanical to computer science
MAZE
16x16 cells
Each cell 18cmx18cm
Wall thickness 12mm
Multiple paths from
start to centre

Basic components of Micro mouse:

 Sensors

 Motors

 Microcontroller

 Batteries
Sensors in a Micro mouse
A device that measures or
detects a physical
condition.
An electronic sensor
converts this measurements
into an equivalent analog or
digital electrical signal.
Detect presence/absence of
walls.
To be able to run straight.
To be able to position and
orient itself in the maze.
Microcontroller:

Choose the controller that has sufficient

 Amount of FLASH memory to store your program

 Amount of RAM memory for variables
 Number of Timers
Min of TWO 16 bit timers or ONE 16 bit timer with TWO
output compare channels and ONE 8 bit timer
 Number of ADC channels
 Good operating speed
 ATMEGA32 of Amtel made is one that is suitable
 STEPPER
MOTOR
 STEPPER MOTOR is a brushless DC motor whose rotor
rotates in discrete angular increments when its stator windings
are energized in a programmed manner.
 Rotation occurs because of magnetic interaction between
rotor poles and poles of sequentially energized stator windings.
 The rotor has no electrical windings, but has salient and/or
magnetized poles.
 Batteries:
Choose batteries that can provide high voltage and high power
with low weight

 Should have current capacity more than 700 mah

 Ni-MH & Ni-Cds

Can provides high current at 1.2 V
Can be charged by Constant Current or Constant Voltage
chargers

 Li – Ion
Can provide high current at 3.6v
Should be charged using CCCV charger .
