On the offhand chance you prefer playing chess with robots, now’s your chance. Over on hackster.io, ricpd has put together a 3D printer chess playing robot arm. Here’s more from hackster.io:
The human, playing white, makes a move. This is detected by the visual recognition system. The robot then ponders and then makes its move…
Perhaps the most novel thing in this robot is the code for move recognition.
Because the human’s move is recognised by a vision system, no special chess board hardware (such as reed switches, or whatever) is needed.
See the project!
