A chess-playing robot arm reportedly uses ASCII camera frames for fine alignment
Its builder says a text-only JEV model uses 100 × 100 character arrays to help align pieces and detect missed grabs.
TLDR
The builder says a Python process converts camera frames into 100 × 100 character arrays for JEV, a text-only model used for fine alignment and missed-grab detection. JEV does not run the whole system: Opus 5.5 handles high-level orchestration, while a chess engine and a trajectory planner handle other tasks. The builder says the arm has played through about 10 full games.
