An intrepid group of UC San Diego undergraduate engineers designed and built a robotic mouse from scratch as part of the IEEE MicroMouse competition.

Test robotic mouse in maze.
Note any problems with robot behavior.
Tweak computer code.
Compile code.
Load new code on robotic mouse now tethered to laptop.
Unplug mouse and return it to maze.
Repeat.

Iterating through the to-do list above served as a recipe for extreme learning for an intrepid group of University of California, San Diego undergraduates who dared to design and build a robotic mouse from scratch. The electrical engineering and computer science undergraduates from the Jacobs School of Engineering also wrote the software to teach the robot to solve a maze. The team unveiled their mouse at the IEEE Region 6 Southwest Area Spring Meeting on Saturday, April 25th, held at UC San Diego.
