End of Maze: Here the maze ends so the robot will stop here. Four lane intersection(Cross): Here again by the image Left turn is possible so the robot will take left turn here. so the robot will take left turn 7.Dead End: Here LEFT, STRAIGHT, and RIGHT all three are not possible. 6.Right T Intersection(Straight or right): Here Left is not possible but the Straight path is. Left T Intersection(straight or left): Again by image, we can see Robot can take left path so Robot will take left turn here. So by algorithm Robot will take a Left Turn. Here Robot can take the left turn as you can see in the picture. T intersection(T): This intersection has a T like shape so it's called T intersection. 3.Right Turn(right only): Again as the name suggests it's a right turn so LEFT and STRAIGHT path are both not possible so according to LSRB Algorithm robot will take Right turn. According to LSRB algorithm robot should follow left whenever possible. 2.Left Turn(left only): As the name suggests it's a left turn so LEFT is possible here. Let's take a look one by one: 1.Simple or Straight lane : Here LEFT is not possible but the STRAIGHT path is. Based on this there are 8 scenarios possible. This is the only thing you need to understand the LSRB algorithm. If all the three turns are not possible then and then only BACK. if LEFT is not possible then STRAIGHT and if both are not possible then RIGHT. This means that whenever robot is on a turning point or an intersection it will always go LEFT whenever possible.

Step 4: if LEFT, STRAIGHT, and RIGHT are not possible go BACK( or it means take a U-Turn).

Step 3: If LEFT and STRAIGHT both are not possible take RIGHT.

Step 2: If LEFT is not possible go STRAIGHT.

Step 1: Always follow LEFT whenever there is a turn possible.

Let's see what this algorithm looks like: In this algorithm LEFT direction has the highest priority and the BACK (U-Turn) direction has the least priority. This Algorithm is simple and straight forward. These LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT, and BACK are the directions that the robot follows. In 'LSRB' L stands for 'LEFT', S for 'STRAIGHT', R for RIGHT, and B for 'BACK' or BACKWARD. In February 2018, Maze announced his return to competitive sport.This is the algorithm by which the robot solves the maze. Maze announced his retirement in 2016, saying 'after several operations I can no longer train one hundred per cent without pain and therefore not compete at the level I’m used to.' He was hoping to compete at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. On 14 March 2016, Michael Maze announced the end of his Table Tennis career.

His coach is the former Chinese National Team Coach Hu Wei Xin. Maze (representing Denmark) was defeated during the 2012 Olympics by Dimitrij Ovtcharov (representing Germany) in the Men's Singles Quarter Final. On 20 September 2009 he defeated Werner Schlager in the final of the European Championships held in Stuttgart, Germany after defeating the German favorite Timo Boll in the semis. He was the only European player to achieve the quarters, beating Greek player Panagiotis Gionis at last 16 Round. In 2009, Maze had reached the quarterfinals of 2009 World Table Tennis Championships, held in Yokohama, Japan. Michael Maze won European bronze in singles in 2007. Michael Maze won the prize 'BT Gold' as the biggest Danish sportsperson in 2005.

Nevertheless, he had managed to put up a memorable performance in the quarterfinals of the competition, coming back from a 3–0 deficit to win 4–3 against another Chinese player, Hao Shuai, saving 3 match points, as well as a win in the previous match against 2004 Olympics Men's singles silver medallist Wang Hao, again from the host nation. Īnother of Maze's achievements was reaching the semifinals of the 2005 World Championships that took place in Shanghai, China, in which he was defeated by the home favorite, Ma Lin, in a swift 4–0 match. Maze lost his first match in singles but won bronze with his partner Finn Tugwell. He participated both in men's singles and men's doubles in the 2004 Olympics. Before the 2004 Summer Olympics, Maze won the Europe Top-12 tournament in Frankfurt am Main in February 2004. Tugwell and Maze participated as partners at the 2000 Summer Olympics where they reached the round of 16.

He reached the quarterfinals in the European Championships for seniors in both series in 2003 playing doubles with Finn Tugwell. Maze won the European Junior Championships in both singles and doubles in 1999. World ranking positions of Michael Maze since 2001
