Abstract

In the present chapter a robotic application bringing together games, informatics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and artificial vision is described. The development of a game player, thus performing an “intelligent” activity is presented. The authors thus suggest that, more than simulation only, the development of the system could offer a serious way of developing learning and interest on the underlying sciences. The system, which only uses off the shelf components, allows for the “intelligent” behavior to be shown through the use of a simple robotic system. In particular, advanced intelligent sensors are used, and the capacities are derived from the tasks of industrial automatic visual inspection, for which the system is designed. These are applied to the recognition of hand-written symbols for accomplishment of a playful activity. The result is a demonstrator, which has proved to be good at catching attention, curiosity, and publicity.
