The setup appears to use the Stockfish chess engine on a Raspberry Pi to power the arm's moves. The announcement is drawing friendly attention from the robotics and maker community.
Why now: A hands-on maker milestone combining chess, robotics and open-source tools resonates with the hobbyist community.
