| dc.description.abstract | Sri Lankan board games have a special place
in Sri Lankan traditions. Peralikatuma,Olinda Keliya and
nerenchi are some example for these board games. Among
these games, nerenchi is one of the oldest board game and
it is even mentioned in Sri Lankan ancient textbooks.
Nerenchi is a board game that can play up to two
players. Playing board games like nerenchi helps us to
improve our soft and tactical skills. With the
improvement of social media and video games, the new
generation distanced from these games. Because of this
old folk games like nerenchi on the brick of existence. It's
urgent to use new technologies to attract the young
generation to these games. A web-based game that can
play nerenchi game up to 2 players introduced to
overcome this issue. UI/UX of that web-based game is not
up to date because of that it’s difficult to attract the new
generation. This paper discussed a robotic solution to
automate the nerenchi board game. The proposed
system consists of two main parts. They are smart
nerenchi board and robotic arm. Smart nerenchi board
consists of 24 IR sensors which are used to detect the
nerenchi pieces on the board and are powered by
Arduino mega board. A fully 3D-printed 5 DOF robotic
arm was used for this system. Arduino Mega board is
also used in the robotic arm to control the function of
the servo motors. The proposed system going to test in
laboratory conditions and compare the detection
accuracy with the image processing approach. | en_US |
