Dude, AWESOME!! How does this video only have 450 views??

This whole video is not only super informative, but comedic gold

This is like a grown up version of Michael Reeves.

Thats absolutly amazing. Now i have to find out the components and where i can find the software to build my Sentry Gun from Aliens. Great Job Sir!

Hah...that sounds great. This is the brilliant tutorial I followed. towardsdatascience.com/real-time-object-tracking-with-tensorflow-raspberry-pi-and-pan-tilt-hat-2aeaef47e134 Obviously success was intermittent and I dont know how to program well enough to fix it...but it got me far enough to have fun.

Just a nerdy point, this is more sophisticated than the UA571-C sentry gun. The UA571-C is only a motion detection system.

Well done!

Just saw this on a reddit chat. Awesome blaster and very cool tech !

Thanks for the kind words! I'm hoping to get some even better robotic nerf builds in the near future

It kinda has trailing/ "catch up" track. If it had predictive "leading" track, that would be poggers and much faster at acquisitions and reacquisition

My 9 yr old son showed me this video. Just awesome. I am still wonderin why ur videos are not getting noticed... Keep up the good work sir.. ur videos are going to take over the net soon.. all the very best..

Awesome!

that's so sick

wow really cool

A more suitable blaster would be a old speedswarm/powerbelle as it only has one electronic trigger that fires the blaster in auto, which means no servo(?) to actuate the semi auto trigger. It actually has been a blaster that people in the nerf community has made both shoulder mounted cannons and trap blasters out of. I'd recommend checking the channel Captain Xavier here on KZread.

I'm thinking that if this were set to track and fire at "hot dogs" it detects in a room that it has ascertained your teenage daughter is in. It may be too taxing to identify every teenage boy she knows and have it fire at any"hot dog" speed approximately 1 meter below said face (or horizontal to etc). Just thinking outside the box for remote mounted sentries etc. You could probably get away with just the deterrent presented by pointing a 3 beam laser at the object. Lmao

11:02 how did you get the teacheble machine datas ?

Is that the spot where you freestyled the DRL racer 4 heavy boi?

Currently work on a 3D printed project that I will need object tracking. Have you done anymore research into this tech. I have been looking at the Huskylens for my project. But will also look at the system you used. Any info would help.

Nope...I have the husky lens sitting unopened on my shelf because I wanted a round 2 but haven't gotten to it yet.

lol I used the same heat transfer book back in college. it's a thick boi. also you can try jetson nano so you don't need the corral

Thanks for the tip. Also...I almost failed thermo 1 but somehow aced that heat transfer class. It was one of my favorite.

You would need a much stronger pan tilt but I'd love to see some you mount a Nerf Rival Prometheus mxviii-20k.

How do you convert the face xy to pan/tilt?

@EngineeringAfterHours

2 жыл бұрын

The software knows the centroid of the bounding box for the face and the center of the frame. It then sends commands from there to the servos.

@EngineeringAfterHours

Here's the tutorial that I mention in the video...should explain it all. It's using a PID loop and simple servo commands to center it up. towardsdatascience.com/real-time-object-tracking-with-tensorflow-raspberry-pi-and-pan-tilt-hat-2aeaef47e134

thats awesome, too bad its a nerf ultra blaster so a lot of stuff simply outranges it

I can program in several languages, including Python and some C++, and I'm familiar with Arduino and Raspberry Pi; I've just always been too poor to afford most of the stuff. So, if you ever want to team up, let me know where to get at you.
