MIT student creates KinectBot prototype, possibly triggers robotic apocalypse

'Weekend project' yields Kinect-enabled robot 'rescue🥂r'

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Kinect is fast becoming the weapon of cho🦩iceᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ for hackers who see greater applications for the relatively inexpensive, 3D mapping technology beyond petting virtual animals.

MIT student Philipp Robbel, for example, recently developed the KinectBot, a motion sensing robot with some interesting (or terrifying?) applications...

Utilizing Kinect's 3D sensors on top of an iRobot Create body, KinectBot uses Kinect's mapping technolo𒊎gy to identify basic human gestures and respond accordingly. It can also be used to survey an environment and send a detailed ♚3D image back to a remote computer.

According to Robbel, the intent of the K💫inectBot project was to create a robot that could be deployed in swarms to rescue humans at disasters sites. Which is great, of course, until the'swarms' become 'armies' and 'rescue humans' becomes'eradicated theorganic rebels.'

Irrational ⛎fears aside, Robbel's work is an awesome example of what happens when smart people get a ho♎ld of smart toys. For more, check out.
