How are you getting that much computational power onto something that weighs 100 grams and doesn't bomb a bright spot reflected off the soldier that launched it half the time.

soy posted:can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs right? unrelated to your post in general, fuuuck I hate that phrase. It's almost always just used as a way to either excuse something terrible or a lovely process. "Uh, you did remove the tree stump, but also the transmission is blown out on the truck." an idiot: OMELETTE EGGS MOTHERFUCKER VROOM VROOM "Wow, you beat the poo poo out of a literal child to find out who took your $1." OMELETTE EGGS!

Face/head tracking is so basic that its built in to even simple cameras, it doesn't take powerful computers. Or really chips today are just powerful. Combine them with a little bang and the job's done.

evil_bunnY posted:computers are very, very good at pattern recognition, and also computer vision is a thing. So they pick typical pixel configurations of marpat out of the general mess of pixels of the picture? That is nuts. e: wouldn't that also work with Multicam? That should also be a repeating pattern, can't imagine they randomize every dot. aphid_licker fucked around with this message at 14:08 on May 12, 2019 |

As said above, computation is actually extremely minimal for this sort of thing. Plus I’d probably secretly send all operators preferences to /dev/null and just make it kill any vaguely human shaped target.

Any flagship smartphone from the last 4 years would be overkill, then consider the weight savings from ditching the case, screen, and battery beyond what's needed for 5-10 minutes. Flying facial recognition mines are absolutely 100% coming within a decade.

The real fun poo poo will be when someone realizes that one-shot kinetic weapons are inefficient, they write visual targeting software to avoid armor and clothing, and start playing with chemical or energy payloads.

shame on an IGA posted:Any flagship smartphone from the last 4 years would be overkill, then consider the weight savings from ditching the case, screen, and battery beyond what's needed for 5-10 minutes. I remember some political person was already almost murdered by a remote control bomb drone or something not too long ago. I think building deathbots on the micro-quad scale would be pretty doable, on the mini-quad or above scale it would be virtually trivial. My mini can fly for 4-5 minutes flat out going 80+ mph and I strap a gopro to it, putting an enhanced compute payload on it + bomb would be no problem at all. MIT and whatever robot dorks in highschools already have the whole self navigation thing pretty much perfected at that scale. soy fucked around with this message at 03:01 on May 13, 2019 |

It'd be absolutely trivial for anyone with a CS degree to add computer vision so they can tell it "go loiter over there and fly into the first thing you see that looks like a live human". I could probably get it working and the only degree I have is in googling stackoverflow
