If the things carry on like this, it is not as much of a far fetched hypothesis as many people tend to believe.Well, the breaking news this time is that a team of AI researchers from Korea and Germany has successfully fabricated an AI-powered curling robot that can even put the best players of the Curling game to shame.The team had published a paper in the journal titled “Science Robotics,” in which they illustrate how they were able to achieve a workable design, how the design was implemented, how the robot was trained, and how brilliantly it performed when it competed against the professional human players.A man named Johannes Stork with Orebro University has also given his opinion in the Focus piece in which he has talked about the work done by the researchers.
To win the game, opponents play dirty by displacing the stone of the other team out of the target position.
Teams can also use brooms to make the surface friction-free in order to reduce the possibility of an elongated journey of the stone.The planning, strategies, and pep-talks are given in between the throws.Curling is not an easy game to master, as it requires enormous body strength and a sound strategic mind.
The robot built by German and Korean researchers can perform the stone throw with precision and can also masterfully calculate where exactly and with what speed it has to throw the stone.
Of course, it cannot do the necessary broom work, which is necessary for the game, but it does have the camera, which enables it to calculate the position, timing, and strength of its next throw.The machine learning involved in the programming used a simulated gaming situation to enhance the intelligence of the robot with respect to the curling game.The robot was matched against a team comprising a women professional team and a team with physically disabled players who played seated on their wheelchairs.
The researchers felt that the robot was better suited to the competition with the differently-abled wheelchaired players who also, unfortunately, do not have the luxury of the brooms in their own professional matches.The AI researchers claimed that the robot was also put in a team consisting of fit human players with humans doing the brooming job and the robot throwing the stone.
