Conscious-Robots team is the 2K BotPrize 2010 Competition Winner!!!

The third edition of the 2K BotPrize Competition was decided recently in Copenhagen, at the 2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games. We are happy to announce that the Spanish team – Conscious-Robots – formed by Jorge Muñoz and Raúl Arrabales won this year edition of this competition, a Turing Test adapted to the domain of videogames [1].

The aim of the 2K BotPrize competition is to develop a computer game bot which is undistinguishable from a human player, i.e. able to pass the Turing Test. Although the Conscious-Robots bot could not completely pass the Turing Test, she achieved a humanness rating of 31.8%. As of today, the Turing Test level intelligence has never been achieved by a machine. However, this year the gap between humans and bots was reduced, having a small difference between the Conscious-Robots bot (31.8%) and the least “human” human player (35.4%) – see results. -> READ MORE.
