ROBOTY (Arabic: روبوتي) is a differential wheeled robot with self-balancing, motion, speech and object recognition capabilities. ROBOTY is also the first autonomous robot in Yemen, all of which will be primarily controlled by voice commands. The final goal of this research project is to build a robot capable of playing chess.[1]
