Abstract

This article has a brief description of the internal functioning of the virtual robot YAM (Yet Another Mouse), which won the 2002 edition of the “Ciber-Rato” contest. The robot is caracterized by having a strong component of long term planning, since it uses the info given by the beacon sensor to discover the global position of the exit of the maze. In that way it can search the best path to the exit having in account the visited zones, avoiding paths that are locally “good”, but globally “bad”.
