Abstract :
Micromouse contest is a competition which an autonomous micro-robot through a designated maze to compete for intelligence and speed. In this paper, a small soft mechanical braking device using electro-rheological fluid (ERF) for the micromouse was designed and fabricated. It was experimentally clarified that the prototype model of the ER braking device can provide a sufficient braking force.
