A team of robotics engineers led by Vincent Strong of the University of Reading carried out this Pong gaming experiment using hydrogels.
This seemingly simple material has surprised scientists by demonstrating its ability to learn and improve its gameplay.
“The key element is that the hydrogel we use is ionized, meaning it contains free-floating charged ions that can be influenced by an electric field, causing them to migrate and pull water molecules with them, which results in shape changes within the hydrogel,” Strong added. “We attributed this improvement to the hydrogel’s ‘memory’ of ball motion, essentially as the game goes on the hydrogel gains experience about how the ball moves and can better intercept it with the paddle. The ions and water molecules moving within the hydrogel form a sort of abstract representation of how the ball moves,” Strong toldStrong went on to describe what is known as the hydrogel’s “memory.” This is attributed to “hysteresis” in ion motion.
