Abstract
This project addresses an imbalance in an educational multiplayer game used at Neurocenter Østerskoven, where people with cognitive and physical disabilities compete against relatives without comparable challenges. The research question is whether an AI-driven shared/hybrid control can both assist players who need support and challenge stronger opponents to equalize difficulty and improve engagement for all participants. The system features two Turtlebot-2 robots controlled by joysticks and three target poles; a Helper algorithm was designed to guide the supported player toward goals, and a Hinder algorithm to subtly constrain the opponent’s control. The implementation is described using ROS and Python, with an initial evaluation planned/conducted. Based on the provided excerpt, the hindering component showed promise in balancing play, while the helping component requires further testing. Continued development and testing are needed, and the project serves as a foundation for future work.
Dette projekt adresserer en ubalance i et læringsorienteret multiplayer-spil anvendt på Neurocenter Østerskoven, hvor personer med kognitive og fysiske funktionsnedsættelser konkurrerer mod pårørende uden tilsvarende udfordringer. Forskningsspørgsmålet er, om en AI-baseret delt/hybrid kontrol kan støtte spillere med behov for hjælp og samtidig udfordre stærkere modstandere, så sværhedsgraden bliver mere lige og engagementet for begge parter øges. Systemet omfatter to Turtlebot-2-robotter styret med joysticks og tre målstandere; der blev designet en Helper-algoritme til at støtte brugeren i at nå mål og en Hinder-algoritme til subtilt at begrænse modstanderens kontrol. Implementeringen beskrives i ROS og Python, og der planlægges/gennemføres en indledende evaluering. Ifølge det foreliggende uddrag viste hindringsfunktionen sig at kunne bidrage til en mere balanceret oplevelse, mens hjælpedelen kræver yderligere afprøvning. Yderligere udvikling og test er nødvendig, og arbejdet præsenteres som et udgangspunkt for fremtidige forbedringer.
