This paper shows a system composed of multiple robots which cooperate with each other through local communications, in order to search the goal of a given maze. The diameter of each robot is only 40 mm and it equips with a very simple algorithm; each robot plays a part to find the goal of an unknown maze as a whole system. In this study, a computer simulator has also been developed in order to examine the validity of the designed algorithms.
