Playing Pylos with an autonomous robot

In this paper, Pylos playing autonomous robot is discussed. This robot is combined with optimal game winning strategies. This results in an artificial companion which plays the board game Pylos in a fully interactive manner and up to the highest possible level. In the long term this could lead to interesting competitions between various autonomous robots playing several board games in an interactive way, possibly at exhibitions very similar to what happens for soccer in the RoboCup initiative.
