Abstract :
A micro robot contains several essences in various technical fields such as MEMS, Micro Assembling, Actuators, Sensors and Micro Computer. The International Micro Robot Maze Contest was established in order to promote the related technique of micro robotics in 1993. Since then, various robots have exhibited their performance and unique mechanisms in MAZE. The details of competitions and history of MAZE can be checked on the official website: http://www.mein.nagoya-u.ac.jp/maze/
