(Video) Home-Built Robotic Sentry Gun

Similar to Samsung's $200,000 contraption, this home-built robotic sentry gun is "capable of picking out a human target and can accurately track/shoot him or her in the heart." Videos after the jump.
...there are some pretty good reasons for not building an optical sentry gun, a big one being that it's generally a good idea to shoot down any missile headed in your direction, but that same philosophy may not be the best when applied to humans

Home-Built Robotic Sentry Gun Think of this as a cheaper alternative to the $ 200,000 Samsung Machine gun robot, this home built Sentry gun is capable of tracking down human targets and can shoot the target in the heart. (Video after the jump)...

This is a few years old and you can easily see that it only tracks the white t-shirt. Meaning it will attack any white blob on a non-white background. It's still a cool toy though.

Sooo - you wear a *black* T-shirt and you can sneak past the autosentry? Brilliant. Obviously the aliens in "Aliens" didn't have a ready supply of black T-shirts. It's far easier in a DMZ to shoot pretty much anything that moves, then ask questions later - so simply compare three video frames and look for any differences (two reference frames that should be 'identical' and the target frame). Any differences - shoot it.

Unreal! Who ever created this should take it to market. I'm sure they could sell this idea to gun shops, etc.

I could do with one of these at my house, it would no doubt help keep the door to door salesmen at bay.

Thats pretty sweet - could get a bit chaotic if too many people started setting them up! Then there's already plenty of viruses/trojans targeting webcams and other peripherals, better watch out if they're online ;)

A bunch of people noted that it just tracks the white tee-shirt. Okay, now what color does heat show up as on an infrared camera? ;-)

[...] “Jtkthx” has unveiled a new version of his home-built robotic sentry gun. Video after the jump. A webcam first takes a picture of the environment in front of the tripod. A computer running Java then interprets that image, deciding on a target. Based on predictions of movement and servo calibrations, the computer sends a signal to a Phidget servo controller, which then moves the four servos attached to an Airsoft mini MP5. Servo 0 is the X (or pan, yaw, whichever you prefer), servos 1 and 2 are the Y (or pitch, or tilt), and servo 3 pulls the trigger [...]
