We demonstrated MARCO at ICMI2014 in Istanbul, Turkey, and won the Outstanding Demo Award. (Watch this video on youtube, if you like.)
In that configuration we realized:
- a few display movements
- emotional facial expressions driven by WASABI based on the evaluation of the board
- detection of and recovering from "invalid moves" by the human player (at least to some extend)
Next steps / improvements:
- change the display for a bigger one
- implement many more agent behaviors based on a newly invented animation framework
- finish integration of NOVA framework
- possibly integrate the IntraFace tracking software
- devise and conduct empirical studies
It can also be controlled from a remote place using the freechess.org server and any client. Thus, someone can play against me using the robot arm to move his or her pieces.
