Pong: The Robot Edition

Do you remember the old-fashioned game Pong? So we are proud to present "Pong: the robot edition". This project shows an entertainment application based on Human-Robot Interaction, where the robot gives a new gaming dimension to that old-school arcade game.

Rather than playing alone, the human player faces now a robot, which reacts according to the state of the game. Through appropriate speech dialogs and gestures, it engages the user in a fierce but unfair competition. Indeed, all disturbing techniques, such as in-game speech are included.

Will you dare to beat the robot?

Think of all the time you wasted to make this awful comment. Think of all the stuff you could have been doing ot advance the human race. Instead, you watch videos on youtube and comment about how they wasted time with a FUCKING ROBOT, whereas you do nothing but bitch about other's achievements. I'm pretty sure you're the one wasting time.

i think you need to stop being so skeptical, robots nowadays are doing way more difficult tasks than simply playing pong, so why cant this robot play pong? plus, it seems like the whole point of this project was "based on Human-Robot Interaction", which they did very nicely ("Hey, look there, a dancing robot" lol)
