Real Tracking and Shooting Portal Turret

[@atoxee6867]

you could actually turn this into a real weapon. what a terrifying thought...

[@keyboardwarrior2145]

at least airsoft weapons

[@lucasnakamura506]

nerf !!!!!

[@Luigi1000]

It would need to be seriously refined to allow for better real time tracking and smaller movement steps of the motors before we even think about putting guns on something like this.

[@15Redstones]

It should fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet!

[@NRX25]

I'm quite sure this is reality in some odd military facility. Just less adorable.

[@100Ansis]

I need this... for... testing. Yeah, testing.

[@DarkChaos679]

and use real bullets (i know what you want to)

[@Elfnetdesigns]

DarkChaos679 Well of course, It adds more realism that rubber darts otherwise it's a novelty item and not an actual tool of war. Lets face it, tools of war make more money that novelty items besides its all for science right?

[@100Ansis]

I know you're probably never going to see this but anyway. I saw this video a few weeks after it came out and I thought it was amazing, I had another 2 years of High school left. Yesterday I got accepted into collage to study Mechatronics, so if I had never seen this video I would never known about Mechatronics and how perfect of a course it was for me, it suits me 100% Thank you! and your project is awesome

[@MrRhysMoore]

Just came across this video again. Thought I would give an update 6 years (YT time is a bit short). I studied hard and loved the 4 years of college, I worked with a large automation company for the last 3 years (1 year way PT since I was still in college). This week I moved to The Netherlands for a new job building the machines that make the microchips in nearly every computer device around and travelling all over the world to install them. What a ride it has been, heres to my next chapter and once again thanks to this guy for the video. It literally changed my life.

[@Phrscv]

Him: wiring's not too complicated Me: dafaq

[@commenteroftruth9790]

Same lol. I don't understand anything about this stuff.

[@rileyhansen7622]

Basically

[@lolollolol56]

S swoova he said circuit not wiring :) circuits aren't really complicated in most cases unless you're running more than 3 plugs on one circuit.

[@lolollolol56]

S swoova 3 switches* my bad!

[@theSpicyHam]

+S swoova yea it's essentially identical as installing an duo-sli (two) graphics card or jaust one, along with motherboard.

[@DarkThunderism]

A finishing touch could also be a ring of red LEDs around the head of the camera, with a piece of plastic to diffuse the light. Just for that extra touch of "I can see you."

[@robrod7120]

make a fully functional prototype with airsoft guns as turrets. I would buy 20

[@satina1169]

Why airsoft if you could use paintball, this would actually be useful in case a burglar breaks in

[@BlightfulProductions]

Ѧ just buy 45 and be sure nobody can trip them.

[@TheMelvinV]

@@satina1169 Airsoft one would be funny in a airsoft match. GUYS WE GOT THE BUNKER, Quick bring in the truck with our turrets. Leaves the bunker and make it look like a shit defended place. Wait for the enemy to kill themselves. Unless they have intel, they aint taking the thing down with bullets

[@eyewai]

Stick this in a dark room. Watch chaos proceed.

[@rainbowbronypony8483]

now all you have to do is make a chell, i mean shell, put it on the turret and begin mass production and you'll be rich in a mater of days! {cause i'd probbably buy as many as i could affored}

[@nigel4037]

Congrats dude, a university project with over a million views! That's crazy!

[@atsirdsart7386]

This would have been cool with a smaller, TF2 turret, too, just for the fact that it tracks color rather than movement. (Much like how RED turrets track the color blue, and BLU turrets track the color red)

[@moonlitwyvern6840]

That answers my question why spy's survive those when disguised! I thought it was always a chip or ID thing.

[@wesleystewart8947]

GET THIS MAN AN ENGINEERING DEGREE. NOW. also, how about the TF2 robots in real life!?

[@LauraLee1027]

I love how it's actually possible to make the turrets in real life, with the technology we have they could probably be programmed to move around and maybe they'll even defect, like the one that said 'I'm different'. Wow it would be so cool if that could happen.

[@spicymilkshake6600]

And I thought I liked Portal too much

[@Gregsusername]

This is one of my favorite videos on the website. I found this ages ago and I think this has started an interest in both robotics and engineering since

[@michaelc.4321]

What would be cooler is to program a neural network which can identify a human by setting up training information by video in which a gpu processes every frame. This would allow for you to have a turret that not only tracks you, but identifies you as human.

[@honkhonk8009]

You dont know what your saying. Please stop lmfao.

[@elmerjfapp5730]

i will personally fund your development if you rework the weapon systems to fire 45.APC rounds and i get a personal sentry

[@Photonicc]

[@FutureAIDev2015]

123 people are Black Mesa employees...LOL...This is AWESOME!!! Does the robot ask you to put you down when you pick it up, and say "I don't hate you" when you drop it?

[@murdoc53]

Valve already had a one built to exact specifications, but it didn't actually have live artillery because realistically it couldn't fit inside at all. The Aperture advert shows its literally flooded with bullets, but the skeleton turret shows that there isn't even room for the bullets to feed into the gun, lest it even have room for the bullets to begin with

[@darthvaderbutwayshittier7054]

But how much percent of bullet, is being used, per bullet?

[@ProgramViBee]

It looks like the whole bullet. Which should be about 65% more bullet per bullet.

[@MrCybermut]

All it really needs now is faster tracking and some sort of bullpup lmgs instead of the nerf rockets, then you sell it to darpa for a blank check, in theory anyway

[@odolmseth]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[@SinanAkkoyun]

Very cool but I have one question: were the motors bad or does the Arduino worked too much? (this tracking was lagging)

[@Motovation]

Sinan Akkoyun I could probably awnser that question for you, pretty sure it was the “motor” used. I’m saying “motor” bc I don’t actually think it’s really a motor since it’s not going in a circle but rather left and right. So I think that’s why it’s really laggy.

[@1classikai]

kss5095 you GENIUS. It's stuff like this that makes me want to go into mechanical engineering. Do you happen to have anything showing this in a bit more detail? I am genuinely curious to see what triggers what to make this thing function.

[@honkhonk8009]

But it looks like a gun. Which is probably banned in colledge lmao

[@sammoreed]

That's incredible! nice work this should put you easily through the course

[@Elfnetdesigns]

I give it an 8 on a 1 - 10 scale... You should eliminate any and ALL wires leading to it and make it independent with programming ports of course. I forgive the shell not being on as you are working on it. Also you should use a coherent red laser, and have it fire while moving. Final thing.. Does it spazz out if it is tipped over? Ok what I cannot work out is what right minded evil doer is going to approach one of these or even come in range. chances are they would be taken out with an rpg before they are able to actually see anything in their FOV.

[@japanimater777]

I just hope you have more version planned after this one is finished. I would love to see it with a a lense and shooting mechanism that looks more like the one from the game as well with a more realistic selection and playing of the sound tracks. If you can do these things it would almost be guarantee that Valve would buy it.

[@x50RR0Wx]

Great work man. Can't wait to see the finished project.

[@thewafflebun994]

Cave Johnson here. Now many people loved the Aperture Science consumer grade sentry turret. But some aspiring engineers wanted a DIY version of the same turret. Great idea, but too expensive. Well we scraped together some spare parts and with that introducing the consumer assembled turret. Batteries not included.

[@alexsw7077]

We fire the whole bullet!

[@grandmabeanie]

That's adorable!!! This needs an award!!!

[@jbloke72]

Absolutely brilliant. Never played portal, so have no idea of the accuracy of the look, however your creation is still extremely impressive. Hope you are pleased with your "A" ;)

[@kerradeph]

like I was saying though. it might also be the way it was programmed. if it's waiting till the target is out of range for it to recalculate and retarget, that could make it reasonable for it to be twitching like that. also, if he could get that thing running off of something small like a smartphone or something, that would be awesome.

[@RogerPruyne]

I'd love to see if you finished the shell, amazing project

[@Skexis64]

@BlazerFM The physics of putting actual firearms into it would knock the turret off its legs. Maybe a dart launcher, but then even a couple layers of clothing might keep you from hitting your target.

[@bluwolfgamr1993]

dude! that is so cool! you should get a shell for it and make it have light effects when it shoots!

[@baileyharrison1030]

[@mustjokofficial1909]

[@Seriona1]

IFF is the only current modern technology that would allow it. All Sci-Fi games I have played with any kind of auto-turret based everything off what the IFF is programmed to see. Splinter Cell is the only game I know that went into great detail about it. The way it works in that game is the IFF detects any senors on friendly targets and does not fire at it. Anything else that walks into the prox, field automatically get fired at.
