  • Portable & Travel-Friendly: The entire system, including the robotic arm and chess pieces, folds neatly into a compact carry case with a hidden handle, making it perfect for play anywhere.
  • Humanoid Robotic Arm: The robot features a magnetic arm that locks into place for setup in seconds. It doesn't just move pieces; it expresses personality by gesturing, "thinking," or even "falling asleep" during your turn.
  • AI-Powered Vision: Equipped with an AI-powered camera, Cynus instantly recognizes the position of all pieces on the board. This allows you to resume a game from any position or practice specific endgame scenarios without resetting the board.
  • Powerful Built-In Engine: Cynus comes with the world-renowned Stockfish chess engine pre-installed. It offers 8 difficulty levels (ranging from ELO 400 to 2500) so you can challenge yourself at your own pace.
  • Flexible Gameplay Modes:
    • Free Mode: Relaxed play with expressive animations and no timers.
    • Match Mode: Distraction-free play with timers for both sides, simulating a real tournament.
  • Long Battery Life: A single 2-hour charge provides over 10 hours of gameplay. You can also play while charging via USB-C, ensuring you are never limited by cables.
  • Open-Source for Developers: Cynus features an open-source protocol via Bluetooth LE 5.1. This allows developers to write custom scripts, connect to popular chess platforms like Lichess and Chess.com, or build their own features .
