“…Another common way of interacting with the game is by exploiting tangible interfaces (TIs) [13], [14] or other physical accessories [6]. This interaction method proved to be very engaging, especially in case of table-top setups [9], [14].…”

“…In fact, spatialized 3D audio is demon- One last aspect that has been considered during the design process is the possibility of connecting multiple systems through a network. This would enable many different types of interaction, such as two users playing against each other from different places (both using the same system) as in the case of PlayTogether [6], or a user interacting with the game through a tablet or smartphone interface while another one is playing. The system should be able to handle input coming from the network transparently and, similarly, to output the relevant data to the network when necessary.…”

“…Many studies were indeed performed in the last decade focusing on the development of games that include a mixture of physical and digital elements arXiv:2007.15538v1 [cs.HC] 30 Jul 2020 [6] experiences, where the digital and the physical components may be predominant, respectively: in a MR-based Robotic Game (MRRG), these two features are combined together.…”

“…Many studies were indeed performed in the last decade focusing on the development of games that include a mixture of physical and digital elements by leveraging MR, giving birth to the concept of "phygital play" [4]. This form of interaction was investigated also in game scenarios involving robots, which led to the appearance of so-called Physically Interactive Robotic Games (PIRGs) [5], [6]. While, generally speaking, in phygital play scenarios the MR component is not strictly required, it is also true that in some cases such aspect can overshadow the physical one, which may be limited, e.g., to the use of natural interfaces (NIs).…”

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of robotic technology at home. A number of service robots appeared on the market, supporting customers in the execution of everyday tasks. Roughly at the same time, consumerlevel robots started to be used also as toys or gaming companions. However, gaming possibilities provided by current off-the-shelf robotic products are generally quite limited, and this fact makes them quickly loose their attractiveness. A way that has been proven capable to boost robotic gaming and related devices consists in creating playful experiences in which physical and digital elements are combined together using Mixed Reality technologies. However, these games differ significantly from digital-or physicalonly experiences, and new design principles are required to support developers in their creative work. This papers addresses such need, by drafting a set of guidelines which summarize developments carried out by the research community and their findings.

A key issue for a device involved in a competitive game is to be able to match the ability of the opponent, thus making the game interesting. When the game is played by a human player against a machine, this should be able to adapt online to the opponent's ability, which may change during the game. When the playing machine is a robot, and the game involves physical activity, adaptation should consider the player's ability, but also other aspects directly related to the physical nature of the game. Adaptation could be obtained either intrinsically, by designing the interaction, or explicitly, by modeling aspects of the opponent that can enable to estimate performance, behaviors, and strategies. We present in this paper different approaches to design the two types of adaptation, together with two competitive, physically interactive robogames exploiting them.
