Do you remember the old-fashioned game Pong? So we are proud to present "Pong: the robot edition". This project shows an entertainment application based on Human-Robot Interaction, where the robot gives a new gaming dimension to that old-school arcade game.

Rather than playing alone, the human player faces now a robot, which reacts according to the state of the game. Through appropriate speech dialogs and gestures, it engages the user in a fierce but unfair competition. Indeed, all disturbing techniques, such as in-game speech are included.

Will you dare to beat the robot?
