Tic-Tac-Toe-Playing LEGO Robot

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-right-up dept.

David Primo writes "TechEBlog has an interesting article on a Tic-Tac-Toe-playing LEGO robot named WOPR — created by Bryan Bonahoom. It uses built-in sensors and a custom program to challenge humans. Video included. From the article: 'The NXT display also enables the inclusion of instructions to the user on resetting the robot. This allowed WOPR to run unattended.'"

    Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
    Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
    Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

      Now that would be impressive. A lego robot that could get bored by Tic-Tac-Toe and learn to play chess.

    I wonder if I can reprogram it to play a nice game of Global Thermo-Nuclear War.

    How appropriate that the demonstration video ends in a draw...
