Follow the White Robot - A Role-Playing Game with a Robot Game Master
17th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems (AAMAS 2018), page 1812-1814. ACM, (2018)Abstract
We describe a social robot acting as a game master in an interactive tabletop role-playing game. The Robot Game Master (RGM) takes on the role of different characters, which the human players meet during the adventure, as well as of the narrator. The demonstration presents a novel software and hardware platform that allows the robot to (1) proactively lead through the storyline and to (2) react to changes in the ongoing game in real-time, while (3) fostering players\u0027 collaborations.
