Abstract:
Playing games is an important aspect in human life in order to develop skills
or in terms of entertainment. Games also play a major role in research such
as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. In this paper we present an approach
to enable the humanoid robot Nao to play a board game against a human
opponent. We discuss the challenges that arise by the task of playing a board
game with a humanoid robot, provide solutions for the Nao, and introduce our
proof-of-concept implementation for the board game Nine Men's Morris.
Finally, we will present a first experimental evaluation of the approach. The
main contribution of this paper is the integration of various techniques into
one real robot system, enabling it to manage a complex task such as playing a
board game.
