Robot missile targeting

I'm off to Leicester University's 50th anniversary Science Day celebration this weekend - Saturday 8th.

I'll be showing off a number of fun things including something I'm working on at the moment - robotic missile launcher targeting :-)

With Braintech's new Volts-IQ vision SDK there is a Microsoft Robotics Studio service for face detection.

Using this service coupled with the also supplied USB Missile Launcher service (see my MSN USB Missile Launcher post - working in the robotics world is such fun!!) I intend to be able target visitors to my exhibition booth. I will of cause not allow the missile launcher to fire at people  - but the missile launcher will pan around and show them being targeted on a small screen attached to the front of A1DW. Yes the missile launcher is already a planned peripheral for my favourite robot - my PC Bot 914 called A1-DW.

The Science day runs from 10 to 15:30. I will be in rooms G24 and G25 in the Maurice Shock Building. If your about it'll be great to see you!

  1. You missed the RoboCup Junior 2008 National Final in the Wirrall on 8th March! An interesting day, with Rescue competitions and Soccer competitions. It seemed like a logical step after FLL for the TechnoBotts2 team...

  2. I did miss the RoboCup final - but Tony kept me up to date with the teams activities.

    Congrats on second place and the potential to go to China!

    Also I understand the team are now coding in C! Top stuff :-)
