Maze Hidden Object Search Robotic Vehicle

Okay, so basically I am new to this and only just slowly getting my head around programming. I've been looking into some projects and this one interests me. The aim is to ...

Design and construct a Robotic Vehicle that navigates through a complex floor plan of a maze. The path is constructed by using appropriately marked path corridors. A hidden object is placed in of the areas of the maze. The vehicle should navigate through the maze by following the defined path and search for the hidden object and should able to memorize the correct path to the hidden obstacle so that in a second attempt in finding the obstacle should be able to find a direct path to its location.

So .. I kind of have more of an idea about the path memorizing part of the robot, but not so sure on the object searching part. I am obviously not expecting a full coding and answers as I would like to learn something myself. I'm looking to see if someone can lead me in the right direction and help me a little as to where I should start for the object searching part? I dont know how to go about it, where to start, what to do etc?

I did do some research over it but found nothing related to object searching.
Please … ! Any help will be more than appreciated. 
Sorry about the long message!

Welcome to LMR. First,

Welcome to LMR. First, please delete the double post and just keep this alive.

Second, please use the search page (right menu in the top -> click on search page) and type maze solving. There you will find many projects, too many to post them all here. If you have further more detailed questions then feel free to do so.

One thing you don’t mention is,

what is the object you are searching for? A furry bear? A red ball? Without knowing what you are looking for, we can’t offer much in the way of suggestions, except to say that patrickmccabe wrote a very good Tip on maze solving.
