Intelligent Robot Design for Five-in-a-Row Game

Abstract

In this research, an intelligent robot arm is designed to play a five-in-a-row automated game with a user. Hardware and software are developed for a system that integrates artificial intelligence technology with computer vision; a six-axis robot arm is used to achieve the goal of automated game played between human and robot. Results are demonstrated for the system using maximum weighting value and layer tree search and reinforcement learning algorithms. The system also provides protection of user safety during the game when a hand is in the vision range. The results show the system can perform successfully in the game.
