What Morph Tales is all about
Each Morph needs to successfully pass four challenges in order to achieve their dream of receiving a super job in Morphtopia. They can only do so with your help – so start playing! Your Morph is already waiting for you.
Morphs are friendly little helpers who are enthusiastic and eager to learn. They want to assist humans with a wide variety of everyday tasks. In Morph Tales, they dream of finding smart solutions to climate change and healthcare challenges – or of flying to Mars and finding traces of life.
The goal of the game: reach Morphtopia
The highest aspiration of every Morph is to reach Morphtopia, a campus where Morphs are trained to take on the most sophisticated AI jobs. The entrance examination is rigorous. Working together with a human trainer, Morphs need to make their way through a training obstacle course with tricky challenges, proving themselves to be clever, reliable and trustworthy in the process.
If a Morph fails to get through the training obstacle course, they will have to perform less exciting jobs like controlling a vacuum cleaner in an ETH cafeteria. Do your best to make sure your Morph is successful! If you succeed, you can beam your Morph over to Morphtopia.
Help your Morph complete the following four tasks
Smart Farming
Morph needs to learn how to independently monitor a pumpkin field, to pinpoint weeds and to destroy them immediately with a robot.
Drug Design
Morph needs to search for new active ingredients and to rapidly recognise and sort through thousands of different molecules.
Autonomous Sailing
Morph steers a sailing boat. Morph needs to compete against other Morph-controlled boats in a circuit to collect as many buoys as possible.
Origin of Life
Morph steers an autonomous Mars Rover over the planet’s rocky surface in order to collect informative samples that could contain evidence of extra-terrestrial life.
