Random Mouse Algorithm
This is a trivial method that can be implemented by a very unintelligent robot or perhaps a mouse. It is simply to proceed in a straight line until a junction is reached, and then to make a random decision about the next direction to follow. Although such a method would always eventually find the right solution, this algorithm can be extremely slow.
