Where it stands and what is next

Ten of ten moves in the right cell on one evening. Next: more data, ten trials per cell, a minimax check, the O pieces.

A three by three grid of the board cells with the number of completed moves and how many landed in each

The moves completed on the real arm, per cell, and in how many of them the X ended in the right cell.

Every move that ran to its end put the X in the right cell: ten of ten, over six of the nine cells, at about 17 to 28 seconds a move in the two games. All of it happened on one evening, on the table the data was recorded on, and neither game was played to the end. So I know the chain works. I do not know how often.

To make it better, the first thing I will do is add data.

  • More data. 30–40 episodes per cell instead of five, with full boards, some variation in light, and no waiting at the start of an episode.
  • A real evaluation. Ten trials per cell on board layouts the model has not seen, and a 3×3 success map.
  • A check on Claude. Its choice of cell is not checked yet. A minimax check is planned and not written.
  • The O pieces. Nine more sentences (put the white O in the ... cell) and a pick slot of their own.

The numbers behind this card, with the charts and a list of what has not been measured, are in measurements.
