Teaching a Robot to Play Angry Birds
summary
Project builds a physical test robot (BitBeam) that touches capacitive devices to run UI tests, using Arduino electronics, a Lego-compatible laser-cut beam frame, Python + OpenCV for image matching, and an Epiphan VGA-to-USB capture path. It finds PNG templates on-screen (matchTemplate), converts coordinates to clicks by a delta-style actuator, and demos Angry Birds and tic‑tac‑toe — demo succeeds but relies on a fragile sleep/repeat hack; capture is 8–30 fps, prototype parts around $100, roadmap adds find-by-PNG into WebDriver.
