Over the past couple of weeks Nick has been playing around with an AI vision library called Open CV with the Emgu CV .NET wrapper. Anyway, he finally got it to recognise a circular object and this morning he created a 3-D printed mount to attach his web cam to a servo so it could track objects - and Cyclops was born! I came up with the name…
Cyclops continues to be very disagreeable and refuses to look at the object or at anyone - especially if they are dressed in red.
This is the blog of Nick Fryer. I am a 36-year-old maker with a keen interest in how Robotics could be used to help disabled people. I also suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, I hope one day to develop a powered exoskeleton that would give people greater mobility than a wheelchair. This blog has recently been hijacked by Nick's identical twin brother Chris - he also has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

He looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteYes he does, Amy (the girl filming on her iPhone & holding the orange cap) said she felt guilty at making him so upset. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we can anthropomorphise such a simple machine. I don't think that robots will kill us all in the future, rather they will be our friends.
Hopefully they aren't all as grumpy as Cyclops.
