The NAO is controlled with a Kinect and two Wimotes for this experimentation.

We could make NAO identifying the pieces and know their movements but there's no need for this in this case.

You'll have to ask this to Taylor Veltrop... ;)

i was anticipating the robot to pick the piece up and then wrecklessly smash all the other pieces and say "i like this one".

I like watching videos like this. I just think all these funny thoughts to myself like the robot taking forever to pick up a piece and gets frustrated and just tips the board over. :D

What type of degree would I need to get into to in order to buy a NAO?...

[CptCryBaby]

yea, but...a knight on the rim is dim.

[Wardhogje]

Hahaha that was amazing :D The part where it choked the horse :P

[Omniverse77]

nice beat...oh he's just walking..

It would work a little easier if the table was lower so he could do more moves, but that's okay. Maybe if the chess board was on the floor? Anyways, this was pretty cool.
