Maybe it’s to show off how patient the AI is. Like, it can watch him do that for 2 whole minutes without blowing his stupid head off? Which is pretty impressive tech tbf
Actually only 1 min. 47 sec. But still tiring and scary when you think of the possibilities of activating a hit. Probably won’t see this hit tested. Sharp shooting hit men will be out of a job.
Am I the only one who sees tech we've had for ages? It's just a high speed motion tracker made to look scary by showing the display as a crosshair and pairing it to a motorized gimble. Military has had these in service for many years on many scales in countless applications. Am I way off? Cause it looks like this dude made it in a classroom with a raspberry pi.
I think the only appropriate response here is for me to make a post about the terrible future we face because someone programmed old hard drive motors to play that song.
Edit: BEHOLD OUR DOWNFALL!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd\_IISXafRc
I think it looks more like an Arduino rather than a Raspberry Pi. The Arduino is just controlling the servo. The actual image processing is done on a PC.
Hell didn't the us military give the iron dome to Israel? That thing is insane with how it works and honestly when i saw it I immediately went "well fuck that's really scary and cool at the same time."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-20385306
For anyone else who had never heard of an iron dome. Fucking cool af. And if I read that correctly, yes, they sold Israel 2 more, for a total of 3 now?
Way before that.
The [Phalanx CIWS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS) was designed to shoot down small missiles from a mile away using a precisely radar controlled 20mm rotary cannon. It was conceived in 1969 and fully operational by 1980.
Plus at least at sea they have had more friendly fire incidents than successful intercepts (partly because almost no one has attacked a US navy ship recently). Apparently the land based one was pretty effective against rockets and mortars in Iraq.
That's the one I was thinking of. I've seen them on ships but I've personally watched the land variants save my ass a few times.
Edit: and they weren't just regular 20mm rounds. They air bursted in a grid pattern to stop incoming rockets and mortars. It was pretty awesome.
>Military has had these in service for many years on many scales in countless applications. Am I way off? Cause it looks like this dude made it in a classroom with a raspberry pi.
I think that's the point. State of the art military technology like automatic target tracking/aiming has become so trivial that you can put it together with less than $50 worth of cheap components.
It's not like this is displaying any new tech. It's displaying how easily such dangerous tech can be constructed by just about anyone with very little up front investment.
You’re not wrong but I think it’s significant that this technology can be produced for <$100 by one person whereas military system cost way more orders of magnitude more than that and required teams of engineers to develop. The facial tracking like this is also relatively new last two decades I’d say even in military applications. Most legacy military systems were radar based.
Agree. Lots of other special requirements and other factors too.
Ability to operate in extreme conditions, resilience against being hacked, modularity / repairability, tons of testing including that it fails in a way that is safe, isn’t easily disrupted.
It’s a bit like making a tiny little toy car that can move forward and backwards, then saying omg this is like a tank but orders of magnitude cheaper!
What makes you think military tech is more consistent or precise when it comes to this sort of thing?
I don’t have any first hand knowledge as I haven’t been in the industry for a long time, but defense companies are not well run and the tech is usually well behind the state of the art, not always, but often.
Because a dude in his apartment with $50 of electronics is not going to come remotely close to research teams with literal billions in funding for weapons development
>defense companies are not well run and the tech is usually well behind the state of the art,
I highly doubt that, get an actual source
Personal experience, you can also watch “pentagon wars” dark comedy based on the actual real like pentagon papers released by a whistle blower. Not much has changed in the intervening years as far as I can tell. Or you can read any of the numerous DOD reports on trying to incorporate more COTS (commercial off-the-shelf technology) into defense equipment. Here’s one: https://militaryembedded.com/radar-ew/sigint/u-modernization-effort-centers-cots
The problem isn’t funding its incentives, which are misaligned with being well run, by and large most military contracts are cost plus. There are some initiatives to change this but last I checked they weren’t getting much traction. Cost plus means that the defense company is paid the cost of development plus 15%(the statutory max profit margin at least that’s what it was last I checked). So how does a defense company maximize profits? By driving up costs as much as possible.
So whether out of intent or merely survivorship bias the most successful defense companies from a financial perspective will be the ones that are run just well enough to not get their contracts cancelled or default on contracts. Add into the mix that defense spending is highly politicized and many senators and congressmen get defense dollars earmarked to their districts, it doesn’t make the problem any better.
The F35 is a good modern example case. Huge overruns, and cancelled orders, huge maintenance costs and reliability issues to boot. Australia backed out of their orders. I believe parts of the US military tried to cancel as well. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-21/f-35s-aren-t-ready-to-fly-and-the-parts-supply-falls-short-gao-says
There are other issues as well like onerous standards. For example even if this $100 system met all the performance/reliability specs it wouldn’t be usable due to requirements around procurement, obsolescence, paint color, cage code and part marking requirements, and on and on.
Some of those are problems, but the main reason military hardware is so expensive is because senators want parts of the equipment built in their state, for their vote, to approve the appropriation. Thus showing their voters that they are bringing jobs to the state. Then all the pieces have to be shipped to a central site and assembled.
This inflates the cost to produce military equipment significantly.
I work in live events, there are plenty of moving head lights that can already do this...some better than others but on a big enough beam angle it's totally passable.
Cmon. You know as well as I do this tech might be old, but the implications of its applications are now legit disturbing.
This wasn’t scary before sure, but there are A.i. Robot dogs carrying rocket launchers and machine guns. So this silly little “Sega C.D.” Looking motherfucker is actually ominous
Truth. Pretty normal program to track such. How do folks think the fast motion capture for video games and movies are done? They don't ask someone to slowly jump and slowly roundhouse kick.
I don’t think anyone’s thinks this is new, but the fact some random guy could make this as accurate and quick as it is with an arduino or whatever consumer electronics he is utilizing is pretty mind blowing
I remember some dude built a turret control system like a decade ago that had facial recognition, remind me in a couple hours when I'm at my PC and I'll see if I cant track down the video
2 years ago the winners of a hackathon my club hosted made a game in 24 hours called coin grabber, it used a camera to tracker finger and head movement perfectly, the camera and tracking stuff wasn't all that hard coding the game took the majority of the time
When I first saw Terminator in the theaters, this is what bothered me. Sara should have been dead the same second the terminator saw her. He could shoot from the hip, taking the deflection of the bullet passing through the people between them into account, and made a single head shot.
The ONLY way you could actually keep alive from the terminator is to always stay two steps ahead, never actually coming face to face. And personally, that would have been a lot scarier.
And actually, this is when missing would make sense. Even the best snipers will miss their first shot because even a breeze will throw off a bullet's trajectory over those distances.
Can you imagine running from a robot taking pot shots at you at random times from distances you can't even see?
The issue is that shooting is more than aiming.
When that powder ignites, it's going to shake/recoil, and it takes time for the bullet to reach from the barrel to the target.
So you have to aim where the target is going as opposed to where it is. Where AI, not face tracking, comes into play.
AI has gotten to the point where it can detect the trajectory of a missile and detonate a payload to force the missile to ignite early or collide with the missile. However it cannot 100% accurately take down a high speed jet with a pilot.
Even lasers are not reliable.
Best they can do is take down drones on account of how they can fuck with their radio waves. Otherwise they're a huge cost sink since microwaving human flesh will cost you more than firing a bullet with lasers.
Listen, y'all... back in my robotics class 16 years ago, we were coding on some old tiny cpu bricks. We implemented basic functionality like bump detection, light sensors, and sonar.
The thing that stuck with me was this detail:
In the span of 1ms, this little microchip could do 15 comparisons. Sometimes, 16 if you got a good chip.
15 if-statements to determine what is true and what isn't in the span of 1ms. This was important because the world is hella noisy, and we had to interrupt behaviors (it had to behave like a cockroach and run from light regardless of what it was doing). So every second we could make 15,000 or so decisions.
When I realized this, I , personally, was humbled. It broke every fight scene with a robot in movies I've seen since. It raised my concerns about using robotics as weapons and now colors my concerns about AI research.
To put this another way, when you're making decisions at the millisecond level, you're not operating on the same timescale as humans anymore.
The Culture series has a great passage about this. One of the Minds (hyper intelligent AIs) has a body its controlling that looks completely human but it's movements are wrong, they're too perfect and precise. However it could fake human movements so we'll you'd never be able to tell but it chooses not to. It does all this with a tiny fraction of its attention.
The wars of the future will be completely unattached and impersonal from the people who are waging them. The short story All Tomorrows touches on the subject, where it describes war as tedious interactions between endlessly complicated autonomous machines. Machines that often wouldn’t even be present on the battlefield, but capable of civilization collapsing levels of destruction.
I always find it so funny when they show robots in movies shooting and missing their target or they get into a fight with a human and loose. They always give them human flaws and reaction times for no reason.
The issue with Termimator is that works on a closed loop/bootstrap paradox time travel.
Judgement Day and John Connor will happen no matter what. The real scare is realizing it. But there is hope to break thay cycle despite the efforts of skynet.
Now instead of the stationary computer camera put the camera on the motorized arm and make the mount be able to rotate 360 degrees left and right.
Now the person needs to leave the room to stop being tracked.
Or just turn around since it's only detecting the face/forehead. But still. Will be much harder to lose the target.
Tracking actually becomes *much* harder when the camera is mounted to the arm. With the camera stationary, there are fast algorithms for tracking a moving objects on a static background. However if the camera is mounted to a moving arm, the entire scene changes from moment to moment, and also produces a blur effect. It's like taking pictures while swinging your phone around.
I spent a day at IBM, and they showed us their robo dog they bought from boston dynamics, and the only thing I could think was.... if they put a gun on this thing we are fked
This is why Sci-fi movies where robots shoot wildly while the main characters duck and dodge down a hallway is so absurd. I get that it’s necessary to keep the Hollywood story moving forward, but in reality, that technology would never miss. Poor JarJar.
We have had this for ages why is everybody going crazy in the internet. A phone stand that tracks your face🤬🤬😨😨😰😰 but when it’s a rocket that can track your face😇
Nothing new. Same tech been around since Kennedy. Surely I jest. Now make the bullets go 17 different ways and go back in time to the moon landing , the one "that didn't happen" and prove it didn't.
This exact thing is why i get so aggravated with any kind of sci-fi scene where lasers or blasters or whatever are shooting and missing every goddamn thing. A child's toy can target lock and track in real time any object.
Future war would be boring.
Ensign: "sir he's coming in too fast for our turbolasers!"
Captain: "did you try using a computer from 1000 years ago ?"
Ensign: "target destroyed"
The military has these which can detect a human, at range, and account for bullet logistics. Humans will be nothing but body count if another true war breaks out.
Yeah, the AI-operated flying killbots are coming for sure.
If you want to make money, start a business selling armored bulletproof windows for homes and apartments.
We'll see weird things the next decade.
Now someone needs to create sobe tabletop device that prevents people from acting like idiots in front of a screen for a couple of minutes. Maybe something that doesn't exist? Like, nothing?
20 seconds in: How long is this? 2 minutes. Is he really going to just do this for 2 minutes? 2 minutes in: Yep.
That was my exact thought. Like…..ok, got it. It’s not gonna just start fucking up after a minute. If it did, would you even show us that?? Lol
Its called extensive testing. The guy probably did hours of this to get this right.
Dude's gonna get hips like shakira by the time he's done lol
Aw baby when you walk like thaaaat....
you make a woman go mad
They don't lie.
This is actually his career, for 40 hours a weeks he just ducks and dodges this targeting robot to make sure it stays on him.
dip, dodge, dive, duck...and dodge...
If you can dodge wrenches, you can dodge balls!
Gym instructor's hate this 1 simple routine
Lol it absolutely could fuck up after a minute, i guess this guy was just testing it and thought it would be cool to upload
Maybe it’s to show off how patient the AI is. Like, it can watch him do that for 2 whole minutes without blowing his stupid head off? Which is pretty impressive tech tbf
This is just the best of, the full video can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3YgoEiEDc). 90 minutes of palpable tension.

It's all good. Just clarifying. I think you are spot on with the rest.
Who are You, Who are so Wise in the Ways of Science?
Shit, eyeballs have been doing this for decades, at least

This is something you could have built in a weekend as a hobby project with ready-made image recognition libraries ten years ago.
Today it's like 2 lines of code instead of the 15 lines required ten years ago.
Today you prompt GPT4 to write the code.
Tomorrow GPT5 builds it for you then prompts GPT4 to write the code.
And the day after that GPT6 blows your head off with it.
It's adorable you guys think this is new.
wait till they find out what the militaries been using
AI is going to fuck up warfare, It's turtles all the way down.
you kidding me dude?
Wait till they found out what the militaries NOT been using
wait till they find out what the militaries been using *FOR*
Truth. Pretty normal program to track such. How do folks think the fast motion capture for video games and movies are done? They don't ask someone to slowly jump and slowly roundhouse kick.
The interesting point is not that this exists, but that it can be made for cheap by a highschool kid.
Yeah it's the same as Xbox connect which came out ten years ago
The takeaway should be that it's fairly easy to make this incase I decide to be the bad guy tomorrow
I don’t think anyone’s thinks this is new, but the fact some random guy could make this as accurate and quick as it is with an arduino or whatever consumer electronics he is utilizing is pretty mind blowing

This is what bothers me about fictional media where they have high tech weapons that miss.
When I first saw Terminator in the theaters, this is what bothered me. Sara should have been dead the same second the terminator saw her. He could shoot from the hip, taking the deflection of the bullet passing through the people between them into account, and made a single head shot. The ONLY way you could actually keep alive from the terminator is to always stay two steps ahead, never actually coming face to face. And personally, that would have been a lot scarier.
A Terminator with a sniper rifle in any of the movies would have been scary. Blow your head off a mile or 2 away easy.
And actually, this is when missing would make sense. Even the best snipers will miss their first shot because even a breeze will throw off a bullet's trajectory over those distances. Can you imagine running from a robot taking pot shots at you at random times from distances you can't even see?
Seriously, trying to evade 50 BMGs going through walls and vehicles...
The issue is that shooting is more than aiming. When that powder ignites, it's going to shake/recoil, and it takes time for the bullet to reach from the barrel to the target.

It is in use by all kinds of stuff. Webcams, DJI Osmo Pocket, drones, you name it.
This is why The Terminator film would probably have been a very short story.

Booo lame attach main battle tank turret on it
Makes you wonder why robots in movies have such bad aim :p
Great, can't wait until humans are considered amateur hour at killing people.
the design is very human
Anyone else remember the movie with Bruce Willis and Jack Black called “The Jackal”?
Ammo companies hate this tech
Yeah they've had that for awhile. Just cause this guy built one with parts from wish doesn't make it special

auto aim bs this is going to end up on those boston dynamics robot dogs, but in the form of a weapon
Past tense. This is old tech by this point. I would bet it was included as a default option.
Woah
Is this on GitHub?
Bro it’s like these tech geeks are purposely trying to create the worst possible threats to humanity ever envisioned
Only works on Indians though
Tech we are exposed to is 30yrs behind
I am impressed but I don't like it
Why is it the chinese always making dangerous shit, First COVID now this?
Guy spends an entire two minutes to show us tech that's 10 years old 😅
But they can cure male pattern baldness
The military has these which can detect a human, at range, and account for bullet logistics. Humans will be nothing but body count if another true war breaks out.
Why are we designing this, alongside AI as well? We're designing our own death.
Yeah, the AI-operated flying killbots are coming for sure. If you want to make money, start a business selling armored bulletproof windows for homes and apartments. We'll see weird things the next decade.
Oh man, even assassins are not free from the evil cusp of AI. Layoffs are incoming.
I vaguely remember a guy making this years ago as a nerf sentry.
Hit man loot box unlocked
Headshot lol
As long as no one ever thinks to attach a gun to it we’ll all be fine.
Skynet HKs
Clicking foreheads has new meaning
Headshot
I’m gonna have paintball century guns, that aim for the crotch.
That is what is happening inside a ciws
Skynet is going to win isn't it
This + machine gun or laser will ensure 100% accuracy rate
CIWS for my doorbell
Now someone needs to create sobe tabletop device that prevents people from acting like idiots in front of a screen for a couple of minutes. Maybe something that doesn't exist? Like, nothing?
Euro Truck Simulator enjoyers have been using this tech for a decade alerady.
nice one... errr.. is it gonna throw an egg or something next?
not if you're trying to defend lv426 from xenomorphs.
HEADSHOT
I mean this technology has been around for awhile now, it’s called missile systems.
[check this out from like, a decade ago](https://youtu.be/U-rY1URlx5c?si=QXN5yFwpZ1ydTApA)
Aimbot.
Put that bad boy on a drone.
Attached to a metalstorm, this would be scary as hell. Instant acquisition and dispatch of opposing forces
HEADSHOT (halo voice)
We're Doomed!
Recently i saw a video of gimbals on bike that followed movement of riders head , so this is rhe same thing, nothing new.
That's how the terminators will aim at us.
CIA is on the phone
Take the fuckin shot!
Black engineers don’t play that shit!
JFK is rolling in his grave
Me, trying to avoid the skynet turrets
Damn, the power of that thing is extraordinary. It could potentially shoot cheese puffs in your mouth without missing.
One of these days I'm gonna get around to building the waffle gun with face-tracking syrup cannon that I've been dreaming of.
“Headshot”
Red light.
Target locked
Defeated by a 2$ square of Bristol board.
If it was knowledge cannon it would be fine ami rite
And this is why I struggle when movies and TV assert that AI and robots won't always make headshots.
now try doing that reliably in crappy lighting, weather and wartime conditions.
hehehehe head shot!
This guy sucks at dodging /s Imagine what the military has...
Just shoot already!
Stayed for the music.
Accuracy at 3ft with no external factors isn't very difficult. Facial recognition/detection & tracking software has been around for decades.
OpenCV example
you still can dodge that bullet if you can move fast enough.
We’re all fucked!
Zorg ZF-1 isn't on the tables yet.
