Preamble

Humanoid robots have been widely developed in many researches to be able to interact with human. In this project, we need to develop software system and apply it in a scenario in which the robot plays a tic-tac-toe board game against a human player. This work deals with the integration of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Vision techniques.

Objective

(1)Develop an inverse kinematic solver that allows the robot to move its limbs. (2)Design a computer vision algorithm that allows the robot to understand the items displayed on the board.

Partial Specifications

(1)The drawing of a circle and a cross in the correct square of the game board coordinated.
(2)The NAO is capable of recognizing the figures on the board and interpreting them in the context of tic-tac-toe

Suggested Approach

(1)Familiar with knowledge of NAO.

(2)Software development in Python and Java.

(3)Detail designs on Artificial Intelligence and Vision algorithms.
