General description


Goal of this set of projects is to design games where people interact with autonomous robots. They are aimed at defining a methodology to design such kind of games, in part mutuated from Computer Game design. The games we are interested in are games where robot autonomy is exploited to obtain interesting, engaging games which may be implemented with cheap technology and enter in everyone's home. Many of these projects have a first root in the Human-Computer Interaction Lab course, while some of them will be continued with technological contents needed to obtain prototypes that can then be evaluated.
There are relationships among these projects and the onse developed in the ROBOWII project.

Resources


Here are some resources common to all the projects


Robot Children Games

Alberto Calloni, Fabio Airoldi, Guido Bonomi are developing a set of new Robogames based on interaction between children and robots: Robot-Children Games

Robo-Hide-and-Hunt

Matteo Botta, Alberto Bottinelli and Massimo Luraschi are developing a new Robogame based on Human-Robot interaction: Robo-Hide-and-Hunt

JediRobot Training

Matteo Sancini and Stefano Ruschetta are developing a competitive Robogame for Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory: JediRobot Training

RoboWII 2.1

Alessandro Marin and Diego Mereghetti are developing RoboWII 2.1 a new version of a game system for Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory: RoboWII 2.1. This project is part of the ROBOWII effort, in turn on the RoboGames research line.
