This is a video produced by 1 Martian Way (1MW) to crowd-fund the Version 2.0 of the 1MW Chess Robots™ through Indiegogo. 1MW Chess Robots™ is the world's first truly autonomous robotic chess set in which a team of 16 autonomous robots play a game of chess against 16 humans on a large scale (16x16 Feet) chess board.
The beauty and the key highlight of our Chess Robots is that none of the robots are remote controlled or centrally commanded. In fact they operate entirely autonomously, distribute the complexity of computation and communicate and arbitrate amongst themselves to come up with a move on behalf of their whole team. The team of 16 humans which can be kids or adults operate by the same rules i.e. each one of them plays the role of a member of their chess team. The humans too communicate and arbitrate amongst themselves and play chess against the robot team by communicating their moves to the robots by means of a large pressure sensitive and high-tech modular chess board.
The Version 1.0 of the 1MW Chess Robots™ was demonstrated to great success in 2009 at various venues in California including Discovery Science Center, Legoland California and student-friendly events such as those hosted by the San Diego Science Alliance (SDSA). The participants of this physically immersive game absolutely loved playing in teams against our Chess Robots and got to learn chess in a fun and interactive manner.
We believe that our 1MW Chess Robots™ can contribute a great deal to the society because of the following:
1. Provide significant Educational and Entertainment Value
2. Kids & Adults alike can learn chess in a fun, interactive manner
3. Kids & Adults alike can learn to foster collaboration by working together in a team
4. Provide alternative gaming environments for kids so that they can reduce their addiction to video games
5. Provide a competitive, fun and recreational environment for a host of venues like malls, theme parks, public places, school, college and company campuses among others.
At 1 Martian Way, we are now producing the version 2.0 of our Chess Robots and we need your support to make this project a reality.
