Abstract

This paper introduces the new competitive track of the Angry Birds Artificial Intelligence Competition that was most recently hosted at IJCAI in August 2015. The goal of the competition is to inspire the creation of AI that can predict the effects of physical actions in the real world. Agents in the competitive track will have to focus on the Al techniques that will be useful in facing this challenge. The game the agents play is the popular Angry Birds created by Rovio. First, we discuss how we designed the competitive track and modelled it as an extensive form game. We show the pure strategy Nash Equilibrium for a single level of the competitive track. We then show that a single strategy is not dominant by defining simple cooperative strategies that outperform the optimal agent in the competition.
