The foolproof way to find the exit in a maze is to keep your finger on the left wall and keep going. You will eventually reach the exit.

If Jack Torrance had this valuable information he could have caught that little brat kid.

If you look at this maze in the video, your idea won't work. You'll never get to the centre following the "always turn left" plan.

You'll travel completely around the outer edge of the maze, never getting more than a few rooms away from the outside.

I noticed that after I commented. Didn't realize the center was the goal. Thought it was just a fail at that point. LOL.

At least I was right about Jack, right?

I noticed how it kept looking for a better way even after it found the centre. When it went back to the start by heading clockwise, I noticed the maze wasn't a contiguous wall design.

Those speed runs after the learning pass were hilarious. The final one was a low battery charge issue I think.

Robotics competition in Taiwan.

Teaching them to take our cheese-searching jerbs!

Pretty much. The cool thing is it's logic is all onboard. It has to learn and optimize the route by itself.

...from what I understand. I'm not a good source of info about it.
