I really need one of those

I saw some similar ones picking off targets at Defcon, but this is the most practical one I've seen, so far as autonomous gun turrets are practical. It'd be great if this guy could afford and onboard computer, something low power, perhaps with an FPGA handling the image processing load.

Spy's sappin' my sentry.



























Sorry I had to do that.

I'm sorry, but the barrel looks like a penis, and so I'm just watching this as a penis head shooting high-speed jisms of mustard at a guy.

moving slowly or stoping every two steps fools the sensor thinking you're not there anymore.

he should've bought a dog

so if you put two next to each other in a tunnel like in aliens will they also shoot at each other or are their movements subtle enough to not matter?

After seeing the article about the robots that learned to lie, anything else just seems kind of tame, you know?

depends on the distance and stuff I think.
as you saw in the video, the guy had to shake his head pretty fast, when he was after that barrel, to get the attention of the sentry.
and when they are aimed at eachother, they stop moving, so they would stop shooting anyway.

Slurpee, I don't think their range goes 180 degrees, so they don't come into each other's range of vision.

They should apologize after hitting you.

no if you are on a triple Sudden Death All or nothing Royal Rumble paintball round

that's version 5 check out version 6 http://www.turretsentry.com/history.html

Not before Robot-Judaism starts.

Version 6 has an on board computer? Sweet!

It looks like the half life 2 sentry.

that's exactly what I thought when I saw it

No, it looks like it still depends on a laptop for the brains (he says he's working on that). Not that that is a bad thing really, it means the AI can be improved and sensitivity can be adjusted on the fly.


I am actually building something similar to this, except it's for Wi-Fi, not paintball...

 I've spent $300 on it so far, but I'm still waiting for many of the parts to arrive, before I start the actual construction. But it basically will be able to scan an area for wifi signals using a VERY powerful directional antenna and amplifyer (so powerful in fact that it is illegal, so I'm trying to figure out how to crank down the power to the legal ammount). It can then be used to make several wireless bridge/s and re-transmit as a local access point. It will have a dedicated laptop inside a watertight case. The entire assembly will be weather proof, up to winds of 200 mi/h, assuming you have it anchored so that it won't blow away, and the case will be wall-to-wall cooled (my own design) so that it can remain water/air tight without overheating.

But it will be similar to his version 5, a case, with a robotic arm assembly that unfolds (except my design demands 100% rain protection, so it's a bit bulkier). It will be able to scan 360 degrees (unlike this sentry), including roughly 270 degrees of tilt (it can point straight down to receive signals from several floors down, or straight up at the sky if need be).

If I can program it propperly, I'll probably publish this project in 2600.
