AutomatedChessRobot is a cutting-edge project designed to automate chess gameplay on 6 Dof Articulated Robotic Arm by Mitsubishi by leveraging advanced computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. The project integrates the powerful YOLOv5 object detection model, the world-class Stockfish chess engine, and the precise RT Toolbox, all orchestrated through Python.
- YOLOv5 is employed to accurately detect and recognize the positions of chess pieces on the board in real-time.
- The model's robustness allows it to function under various lighting conditions and board setups, ensuring precise detection every time.
- The project utilizes the Stockfish chess engine, which is renowned for its strategic depth and ability to calculate optimal moves.
- Stockfish ensures the robot can act as a formidable opponent or a helpful partner, depending on the user's preference.
- The RT Toolbox is used to control the robotic arm, enabling precise and accurate movement of chess pieces on the board.
- It ensures that each piece is placed correctly according to the rules of chess and the decisions made by the Stockfish engine.
- Python serves as the central language that ties together the vision system, the chess engine, and the robotic arm.
- Python’s flexibility and power allow for seamless communication between components and provide a robust framework for further development.
- YOLOv5 detects the chess pieces and their positions on the board.
- The detected positions are passed to the Stockfish engine, which calculates the best move based on the current game state.
- The RT Toolbox executes the move by controlling the robotic arm to position the chess pieces accurately.
The AutomatedChessRobot showcases the integration of AI and robotics to create a fully autonomous chess-playing system. By combining advanced detection algorithms, a powerful chess engine, and precise robotic control, this project offers an exciting glimpse into the future of automated systems in gaming.
