DEMO HOUR: CuGo

CuGo is a tangible platform where human and robot are encouraged to participate in achieving a shared goal. It consists of a game board, on which modular, reconfigurable robots perform unpredictable movements, as well as passive blocks that are moved by both human and robot players. As the performance of AI for specialized tasks will soon surpass that of humans, CuGo aims to contribute to calming the tension between human and robot entities.
