"Learn how students are changing the world one project at a time" is a 9-part series from a group of Hong Kong students who are using innovative engineering to improve their community and ultimately the world. Take a look at what these students have created.
China Wizard Chess
This project aims to develop a Chinese Chess system which is controlled by voice-commands (see Figure 8-1). The movement of chess pieces are processed automatically by using magnets and servos with a microcontroller (see Figure 8-2 to 8-5).

Up to now the software part works properly (see https://youtu.be/fHg5t2MMbrc). The hardware part is still under development.
