Abstract
The main goal of this research was to design and implement a robotic arm for playing chess on three standard real boards handling real regular pieces. Research, design and redesign were done on all aspects of the development: mechanical, hardware and software. A lot of problems emerged, but were overcome, and the robotic arm met its goal: to reliably moves chess pieces on the boards with millimetric positioning precision.Interfacing the PC to 3 DGT autosensory boards and interfacing the PC with a classic software chess engine should be further considered
