Abstract
4-Connect Robot is an intelligent hardware-based gaming system designed to play and win the classic Connect 4 game against human opponents. Unlike traditional versions, this project integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, allowing the system not only to compete strategically but also to physically manage the game board.
The AI, powered by advanced algorithms such as Minimax with Alpha-Beta Pruning, analyzes the game board in real-time, predicts the best possible moves, and adjusts its strategy dynamically to increase its chances of winning. Once the robot secures a victory, it transitions from gameplay to autonomous organization mode—sorting the colored game pieces, separating them correctly, and resetting the board for the next match.
The system consists of a robotic arm and an automated sorting mechanism, enabling a seamless, hands-free gaming experience. The combination of AI-driven decision-making and robotic automation makes 4-Connect Robot an innovative fusion of software intelligence and mechanical precision.
This project serves as both an interactive gaming experience and a demonstration of AI and robotics in action, highlighting how autonomous systems can be applied to real-world problem-solving. By integrating strategy, automation, and engineering, 4-Connect Robot offers an engaging and futuristic take on a beloved classic game
