maze-solving
Finding the exit
Maze-solving is the process of finding a path through a maze from entrance to exit.
The term appears in computing and robotics, where maze-solving algorithms navigate complex structures: The robot demonstrated impressive maze-solving capabilities.
It also describes the human activity of working through printed or physical mazes as a puzzle or cognitive exercise.
