The problem of traversal of plane labyrinths by automata was set by C. Shannon
at the beginning of sixties. It is known that there exists no finite
automaton which can traverse an arbitrary preassigned labyrinth.
It is natural
to carry on the search of the positive solution of
the problem of the traversal of labyrinths by automata
in two directions. The first direction is concerned with consideration
of more restricted classes of labyrinths and the second one is concerned with extension
of capabilities of automata traversing labyrinths. In this paper
it is shown that there exists an automaton leaving one unremovable label (colour)
in nodes of a labyrinth which can traverse an arbitrary rectangular labyrinth.
