In this day and age almost everyone knows how to play chess. But what can you do if you don’t have anyone to play with?
Tim Selig, who holds a bach-elor’s degree in Industrial Mathematics and is now a master’s student in Applied Mathematics and Physics, has come up with a solution. As part of his project work, he developed a chess programme known as ChessRoberta that controls a robotic arm. His work was supervised by Prof. Dr. Oliver Bletz-Siebert (mathematics). In our interview, they talk about what ChessRoberta can do, why the theoretical insights from Mr. Selig’s course of studies were highly applicable here, and what role artifi-cial intelligence can play in this area in future.
