Abstract :
A method for solving mazes with extended open areas and arbitrarily placed walls is described. This method reduces large open areas containing many possible paths to a small set of shortest paths. It is then possible to use Moore´s algorithm of which the paper includes a summary. A computer simulation of a vehicle exploring an unknown maze is discussed. Crude navigation and measurement are sufficient for maze solving with the techniques described.
