The robot will represent Russia at the first ever //International Robot Blitz Chess Championship// announced to take place in 2011.

Robots are mechanical [|intelligent agents], and may interact like an human chess player, recognizing the moves either by incorporating a sensory board, or more sophisticated by [|computer vision] and [|real-time] video [|image processing], and moving pieces with a [|mechatronical] [|actuator] and [|end effector]. || toc =Dynamic List= To expand this list, create a new page with the tag "[|robots]". > include component="pageList" hideInternal="true" tag="robots" limit="100"
