What is it?: A modern take on the famous chess-playing Mechanical Turk, which uses computer vision and a robot arm to play a mean game of chess on a real board with physical pieces.
Results: As you can see here, the Raspberry Turk moves pieces around the board both rapidly and smoothly.
What it uses: A Raspberry Pi camera module suspended above the chess board captures the pieces' current positions, feeding the images back to the Python OpenCV image library running on the Pi for analysis. Once the system has calculated the position of all the pieces on the board, these are fed to the open-source chess engine Stockfish, which works out the next move for the robot arm -- controlled by the Pi and an Arbotix-M Robocontroller -- to play.
