Portable robotic board game playing system

Abstract

A portable robotic board game playing system is disclosed, which comprises: a chessboard unit; a fetching unit and a control unit. The chessboard unit is composed of a board frame and a plurality of game pieces. The fetching unit is movable for grasping any one of the plural game pieces. The control unit, being electrically connected to the chessboard unit and the fetching unit, is capable of detecting statuses of the chessboard unit and the fetching unit so as to generate a control signal accordingly. With the aforesaid portable robotic board game playing system, a board game can be played by a user using actual game pieces with lifelike sense of realization against the robotic board game playing system itself or a remote user. In addition, the portable robotic board game playing system can be used exactly as an ordinary chessboard.
