Abstract

"RoboGamer" is a robotic system which is able to play a video game togather with a human player. In previous computer game systems, the computers are always designed as enemies to the human. However, in this project, we realized a physically connected friendly computer player by a simple robotic system that is composed of a video camera, wire based force feedback display SPIDAR and a program that made with GPU fast image recognition without any modification for original video game system. RoboGamer has three functions that are autonomous play, augmented effects like force feedback and/or rich graphics for original old video game and collaboration play with A. I. and human player via force feedback on the joystick.
