Chess playing robot

Not a robot as we usually think of it. But a robot arm that can move the pieces and even press the clock. It is probably linked to a chess playing software, the mechanical arm is really just programmed to do just that - mechanical action. There is no real intelligence there. My guess is that there is a software that interprets the input from the chess program and sends the appropriate signal to the robotic arm.
Actually this is nothing new, robotic mechanisms like this can be found in any modern factory. The novelty is in introducing it into the chess setting. For some reason I found the movements very amusing especially when the robot presses the clock!
Notice in the video how Kramnik tries to fool the program. He moves his a7 pawn in between a7 and a6. Maybe it is pawn to a6.5. That really froze the program:)
I can imagine the robot reprimanding its opponent somewhere in its circuitry:)
At another point, Kramnik extends his hand and offers a draw only to quickly retract - his hand that is. You do not want to get in the way when that giant arm swings into action.
Watch the video here Kramnik versus robot arm
And if that is not enough to give you the shivers, here is the robot giving a simultaneous display robotic simul

News release
Saturday 11th December 2010

Passed the midpoint of the tournament, and now we have a common leader. World champion Vishy Anand birthday marked 41 Category 后加入卢克麦克 Shin Nigel Short (who drew Mickey Adams) in a leadership position. This is not such a good day for the England players David Howell can be resolved on Friday to Vladimir Kramnik.Completion of the last race in the village Karlsson, Magnus five hours later to win the game. Therefore, the evaluation: Vishy Anand, 卢克麦克谢恩 8 / 12.7 Vladimir Kramnik, Carlsen 6, Hikaru Nakamura 5, Mickey Adams, 5.2, David Howell, Nigel Short 1.
Walk in the park
Sunday saw the two leaders of the conflict, but Monday is a rest day. I am sure that everyone is looking to get rid of intolerance, and at least Vlad Carat Moo Nike who told us that his 7 hours and forty-seven minutes of recording Marathon 卢克麦克谢恩 personal of his time on the plane. I have no inside information in the paper industry, the Director-General of the field out of the super-consistent. One of them, 卢克麦克谢恩 and residents in London, so I think it will not move away from its place in Pimlico on Thursday. Ke Muni, known as the Carat Vlad is a 'night owl' Hey so you may be inherent in the day, but may pop down to the river near the studios Riverside in Hammersmith where exempted Fidel parrot inter husband and his years of world title since the search of inspiration for the competition ahead.
What I propose a walk in the park. London may be a good choice or open space to choose, my personal favorite is Richmond Park, mainly due to it is very convenient to where I live is that it is a natural reserve, where you can see friends, the requirement for a variety of birds and other animals. It is not very convenient central London so the best option may be the St. James Park, with its views of the eclectic mix of water and a huge bird. For example, to look at this ...
This is the opinion of the British Government, and St. James Park, with all the government buildings together like a strange picture of a fairy tale. Here's another ...Perhaps hard to believe that this building is right in the heart of London. This is the so-called Swiss cottage in St. James Park, and only a short distance the prime minister the official 10 Downing Street.
Plants and animals in the park is also quite surprising. For example, the terrible monster ...
Swans in the garden of St. James. Hardly a native species, but they were introduced to the park a few centuries ago, and growth, and sliding up and down the lake as if in their own home. I want to believe it is imported from Sicily (Sicily Pelican -? Get it), but the fact that this is the original Russian Ambassador Pelican King Charles II in 1664. A few years ago, a pelican in the park, scared pigeons gulping live on the eyes and ears. At the same time to guard against the danger of the bathroom in the air, as is the case now in a growing number of Peregrine falcons and birds who is London's most famous fast food of choice.
Move from St James to Buckingham Palace, you can see some of the things the traditional "tourist", such as the bright color of soldiers marching up and down ...
And the 'statue of Queen Victoria to celebrate the building's most popular bars in the UK soap opera' East ...
... Or maybe the queen of the 19 th century, and especially if that be the case. Her husband, Prince Albert, in Hyde Park (open space fixed, it was recommended to a large extent), and stand in honor of Victoria, the husband of her very popular.
In 1962, a satirical magazine published photos private investigator Albert Memorial, titled 'the first man in space, and the United Kingdom.
But enough of the tourist guide. We still have to deal with the event the fourth round.After some initial difficulties arise with the rest of Sicily open to him, Nigel Short, and seems to do well in all over 28, when Vishy Anand made him open the g - the seventh document and countries smoking. He worked in all parts of Persia to assist in the attack, but there is a difference, a pawn sacrifice, and then split on the road through Bishop King Vishy. But there is an error in his calculations - Vishy has a simple ... 38 Qd6! Cover all the mating threat. That a piece of drift and, therefore, fall on his sword, Alternative A did not finish entertainment wing of the crowd.
Vladimir Kramnik to establish a stable feature, the opening of the (field Glenn) to David Howell and OpenedFilesView up h - a file Brooks infiltration. It is not easy to make and think of further progress in the filter looks like a very dangerous situation.However, the establishment of Vlad and his seventh Bishop smoking suddenly in the G4 and the difficulty of blacks that are not concerned about the protection of His Majesty the King. Found David tried to promote and despair, B5, and its power to prevent further precision Vlad the advanced nature of the soldiers d. End of the game.Vlad is now a point behind leaders Vishy and Luke.
卢克麦克谢恩 OpenedFilesView peaceful and G3 and Mickey Adams gradually assumed the initiative. The foundations of his wife, Queen and smoke, and ranked seventh, but Luke is an exchange of queens and tactical skills to reduce tension.Further contacts, and finally came to the bishops of opposite color game - bring it.
Hikaru Nakamura has responded Karlsson British Open and the order of the Ministry of Defence of the Netherlands, but outside the Norwegian of the advantages of openness and stability. Interesting exchange of the economic situation when Magnus Bishop Knight (23 and 24 Bxb6 BD4). Hikaru seems that it might be OK with two bishops, but the pressure to tell the time Magnus tired of Hikaru no time to work on the consequences or 33 Rd8 ...! ? Thought it might be best to try. Left and missed a desperate sacrifice Rxg6 38 + message, piece, chaos. Magnus technology is fine, and he soon brought the game has ended.
