SenseTime unveils Go robot powered by AI

Chinese artificial intelligence pioneer SenseTime unveiled an AI interactive Go version of its consumer product "SenseRobot", bringing AI technologies and the Go game to more households.

Go, or weiqi in Chinese, is one of the earliest binary-based games and known for its complexity. After the historical game between South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo in 2016, AI has gradually become an important "assistant" for players to train and improve.

Featuring SenseTime's advanced AI and robotic arm technology, the AI Go robot can practice and play games on a real board. Equipped with a large number of selected exercises and human-machine game training at 20 levels, the robot can meet the demands of both the amateur and the professional. It also enables connection to online Go platforms, where the user can play actual games with millions of players from across the world.
