The hybrid Agent MARCO

We present MARCO, a hybrid, chess playing agent equipped with a custom-built robotic arm and a virtual agent's face displaying emotions. MARCO was built to investigate the hypothesis that hybrid agents capable of displaying emotions make playing chess more personal and enjoyable. In addition, we aim to explore means of achieving emotional contagion between man and machine.
