Through the SenseRobot app:

Open the app and switch to the desired player.

Go to "Play" -> "Planet League" -> "My Account" -> Login. If you don't have an account, you can register. After successful registration, you can log in and link your Lichess account to your SenseRobot player.

Through the SenseRobot device:

On the robot, go to "Planet League" -> "Lichess".

The robot will automatically match you for a game on Lichess.

1. The Lichess platform does not have a time compensation or pause mechanism for the SenseRobot's mechanical arm and physical chessboard. As a result, when your opponent moves their pieces, the time spent on their move is counted as part of your time.
2. If you are running low on time, you can take over the game on your mobile or PC to continue playing and manage your time more effectively.

1. This is mainly because the SenseRobot chessboard's piece color (e.g., if you place black pieces, you are playing as black; if you place white pieces, you're playing as white) does not match the color assigned by the Lichess server.
2. If the color mismatch occurs repeatedly, it may be due to restrictions set by the Lichess server. It's recommended to change the piece color on the SenseRobot chessboard to match the expected color. Be careful not to repeatedly try different colors, as this could risk getting your account flagged or banned.

1. When making a move, the player must wait for the robot to complete its confirmation check before the move can be executed. If using the "no takebacks" mode, the player must remove their hand from the board after placing the piece. In move confirmation mode, the "Move Confirm" button must light up in blue before the move is made. If these conditions aren't met, the robot will revert the piece to the position before the blue light was activated.
2. If the player violates the move rules, the robot will automatically return the piece to its original position.
3. In no takebacks mode, if the board is obstructed (for example, by the player's hand), the robot may also return the piece.

To communicate with the robot, press and hold the "OK" button on the chessboard. Once the robot shows a facial expression prompt, you can start talking to it. After you finish speaking, release the "OK" button. If you wish to interrupt the response, press the "Return" button. The robot can understand and respond to content related to Go

To Check the SN:

• You can find the SN number on the robot's bottom nameplate.
• Alternatively, go to the "System Settings" menu on the robot, select "About This Device", then click Next Page to find the 18-character device code.

To Check the Version:

Go to the "System Settings" menu on the robot, select "About This Device", and you'll find the version information there.

To use voice interaction, press and hold the "OK" button on the chessboard. This will activate the robot's voice response system. The screen will display the question you're asking and the response from the AI model. You can release the "OK" button when you're done speaking, or press the "Return" button to interrupt the response.

Important Notes:

1. If the network is stable, you should receive a response within 2 seconds. If the network is poor and no response is received after 5 seconds, it will time out and show a message: "Service not responding, please try again later."
2. The maximum duration for a voice request is 30 seconds. If you hold the "OK" button for more than 30 seconds, the robot will automatically stop listening and provide a response at the 30-second mark.
3. This feature requires a network connection to work. It is recommended to use the voice interaction in a location with a stable network.
4. Voice interaction is only available in the main menu. It is not supported in tutorials, evaluations, startup guide videos, QR code scanning screens, or AI sales modes.

There are two types of move modes that can be switched in the System Settings -> Game Settings. The default mode is Move Confirmation.

1. Move Confirmation Mode: After the robot makes a move, the Move Confirm button on the chessboard will light up in blue. The player must press the "Move Confirm" button to make their move.
2. No Regret Mode: In this mode, the player does not need to press a confirmation button. Simply place the piece and move your hand away from the board to confirm the move.

During a game, press the Back button to open the menu. From there, you can select Undo Move. You can undo a move up to 3 times in a single game.

The robot supports both automatic chessboard setup and interactive setup with the player. Before a game starts, the robot will automatically set up the chess pieces. The time it takes to set up depends on the arrangement of the pieces on the board.

• The robot typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the setup.
• Players can also set up the pieces alongside the robot, but it’s recommended not to place pieces of the same color or place the same piece at the same time as the robot.

In general, the robot will fully set up the board within this time frame.

The likelihood of natural damage to the power supply is low. However, if the adapter shows no visible damage but the robot fails to power on, it is recommended to send the entire unit for inspection and testing.

This will ensure any underlying issues with the power supply or internal components are properly addressed.

1. Check if the chessboard and the machine’s clips are tightly aligned and if the board is placed flat.
2. If the board was moved after powering on, exit the game and restart it.
3. During use, avoid touching the robot’s chessboard camera or the camera rod.

1. Check if the chessboard and the machine’s clips are securely attached and ensure the board is level.
2. If the chessboard was moved after powering on, exit the game and restart it.
3. Simultaneously placing pieces by both the user and the robot may cause empty grabs.

1. Ensure the chessboard is level and the data cable is properly connected.
2. On the robot's main menu screen, move the robotic arm. If the robot responds with “Please don’t touch my little arm; if it breaks, I won’t be able to play with you anymore,” this indicates the arm and camera are functioning normally.
3. If the robot gets stuck on the startup screen after a power cycle and does not proceed to the main menu, the chessboard camera may be broken and needs to be returned for inspection.
4. If the chessboard camera’s calibration parameters are missing, it will require a factory recalibration.

1. Check if there are any obstructions on the chessboard grid area. If so, remove the obstruction, and the issue should resolve automatically.
2. If there are no obstructions but the robot continues to report an obstruction, try restarting the machine to resolve the issue. Alternatively, you may need to enable data flow for analysis (turn on the “User Experience Improvement Plan” in the mobile app and provide the robot’s SN).

In the "No Undo" mode, as long as there are no obstructions, the robot will assume a move has been made once the piece is placed. To avoid misjudgments:

1. Ensure your hand remains on the chessboard until the piece is in its final position, and only remove your hand after the move is confirmed.
2. Special caution is needed if you briefly hold the piece near the edge of the board. The robot may mistakenly detect the piece and think it has been moved, even if it hasn’t been placed yet.
3. In case of such a misjudgment, you can press the “Return” button to undo the move and correct the position.

1. First, check if the "No Undo" feature is enabled. Go to "System Settings" → "Game Settings" and confirm whether the "No Undo" function is turned on. If enabled, the light will turn off; if disabled, the light will be on.
2. Check the Type-C connection cable on the chessboard to ensure it is properly connected. Try unplugging and reconnecting it to confirm a good connection.

1. Check if there are any objects obstructing the chessboard. After making a move, ensure your hand is completely removed from the board.
2. In "No Undo" mode, the system expects the move to be completed within 10 seconds. If not, it may incorrectly report a blockage.

1. The robot's mechanical arm needs to open the claw to pick up pieces. If two pieces are placed too close together, the claw may accidentally touch other nearby pieces, especially flat-topped pieces like the "rook" or "queen."
2. To avoid this issue, it's recommended to manually move the pieces apart or place them in their correct positions. Avoid clustering pieces together to make it easier for the robot to pick them up.

1. When the robot is powered on for the first time, the forearm should automatically lift. If it doesn't, try turning the power off and on again to reset the system.
2. After the forearm has been lifted, users should avoid manually pressing down on it. Pressing down could affect the robot's ability to pick up and place pieces correctly.

1. Unplug and replug the USB connection between the chessboard and the robot.
2. If the issue persists, try reversing the direction of the USB cable connection. This should restore normal button functionality.
