Chess robots are getting smarter, just like everything else. The Manya Cynus is a new chess robot that uses an AI camera to read the position and respond. It has a robotic arm to pick up and move the pieces. You get two modes to play against. In fun mode, Cynus expresses itself with emotions. There is a timed mode, in which you see the clocks for both sides. The board folds to serve as a carrying case for the robot and pieces.
Cynus lasts up to 10 hours on battery. It has 8 levels for you to choose from. You can set up any position and the camera will be able to read and understand it. This board has an open source protocol, so you will be able to develop code for it.
