What is Robot Trainer?

Robot Trainer is a Game With A Purpose that aims in gathering Commonsense Knowledge. The player takes the role of a teacher. The game’s goal is to train a Robot that will travel in deep space and carry a significant amount of human knowledge so that it can teach other humans in the future, far away from earth. The game has three levels. In each level, the player gets a specific task, like building knowledge rules to answer questions, resolving conflicts and validating other players’ knowledge rules. Players are rewarded for submitting knowledge rules that help the Robot answer a question, and their fellow teachers’ contribution.
