BitBot: First robot that plays Angry Birds on a tablet

On November 4, 2011, in Robotics, by Mike Jefferson

As we saw earlier, Chinese robots can play a game of table tennis, but today we have a robot that can play Angry Birds on a tablet.


Jason Huggins created a robot called BitBot, and BitBot’s specialty is playing Angry Birds on a tablet. In order to play Angry Birds, this robot is using finger-like rod that has a skin-like tip that allows it to use touchscreen display. Sadly, BitBot doesn’t have artificial intelligence, so it doesn’t play Angry Birds on its own, instead, it relies on a remote control and two servo motors to guide its rod. However, Jason Huggins has big plans for BitBot, and he hopes that his BitBot robots will test mobile applications in the future.

BitBot sounds great, but unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any artificial intelligence, so it is completely dependent on human input. We just hope that Jason Huggins will find a way to improve this robot by giving him some form of artificial intelligence in the future.
