Summary
Artificial Intelligence has been blazing a trail in the past several years, beating skilled human players in strategy board games like chess and go.
The research team, led by Professor Raffaello D' Andrea and Thomas Bi, a PhD candidate, has built a robot AI using the popular labyrinth marble game to make informed decisions on potentially successfully behaviour by planning for the future.
The labyrinth game is a marble game consisting a maze with walls and holes.
The goal of the game is the transport a metal ball from the start to the end by tilting the playing field using two knobs.
While the game is straightforward, it requires motor and spatial skills to move the metal object from start to end.
While playing the game, the AI robot, called CyberRunner, observes its own moves and receives rewards based on its performance.
The researchers pointed out that CyberRunner naturally discovered shortcuts while it was playing the game.
