ACC Chess Playing Robot (part 1)

Austin Community College (ACC) Robotic and Automation program. The robot was initially donated by UT at Austin Engineering Department. ACC students modified the robot to play chess, developed the artificial intelligent (AI) software, and the software to calibrate and move the robot. This is an on-going project since the final goal is to have the robot play chess with a human. At the current state, the robot is playing chess by itself. Class Instructor: Brent Vopat and the Robotic class of Spring '07

@SeeMeShine92 Oh c'mon dude it is impressive. Exactly how many chess robots did you build lately?

[simper2000]

What's up with the f-ing noise it makes everytime it grabs or releases something?!

[MegedEisenberg]

Wooooww...stop spamming u freak.

[SeeMeShine92]

its not THAT impressive, since its a chess board it has 1-8 coordinates and its pretty easy to program the robot to make the moves, the rest is a software im assuming

[Skeeter66]

No, it's software.

[Aelfredus26]

[HIM666dark6light]
