Design of a Chess Playing Machine BAM Applications Shawn Domer, Rachel Kurschat, Jacqui Wagner, Robert Withrow, Kurt Witkowski
Introduction • History • Project Chloe • Significance • Components • Project Planning
Problem Statement • The purpose of this project is to design and implement an automated chess playing machine • To be used as an educational or instructional tool to learn about image processing, robotic control, and chess algorithms
Relevant History • Boise State University • Demultiplexor for recognition • Motorized electromagnetic movement • Taylor University • Similar to our proposed design
Project Chloe • Control system • Interface all sub-systems • Vision system • Recognize piece movement • Robotic arm • Move chess pieces • Chess algorithm • Interpret movement
Significance • Educational and instructional tool • Image processing • Robotic arm • Chess algorithms
Constraints • Sustainability • Manufacturability • Economics • Health and Safety • Environmental, Social, Political and Ethical
Control System • Operating system • Initialize sub-systems • Receive input from other components • History of past moves
Vision System • Repeatedly take pictures • Processes the images • Determine when moves are made • Send move data to control system
Robotic Arm • Receives data about the next move from the control system • Moves chess pieces on the board to the desired locations • Tells control system when move has been completed
Chess Algorithm • Receives move information from control system • Calculates next computerized move • Provides control system with data for the next move
Budget • Vision System • $1620.00 • Robotic Arm • $3500.00 • Chess Algorithm • shareware
Project Plan • Fall Quarter • Research and initial design • Winter Quarter • Design and implementation
Conclusion • History • Project Chloe • Significance • Components • Project Planning
