A real-life tracking, shooting, talking ‘Portal’ turret

The Verge – Just in case you didn’t feel bad enough about crushing or burning murderously friendly turrets in Portal, an enterprising engineer has built a real-life version of our favorite stationary weapons. Created for the excellently-named “Advanced Mechatronics” class at Pennsylvania State University, the turret is equipped with an IP webcam and two servo mounts with Nerf guns attached. The camera reads RGB colors and connects to a computer running MATLAB, which lets it identify simple triggers like the bright shirt shown in the video. When it sees the shirt, it locks on and tracks it, so it can shoot if the wearer stops moving or issue a familiar “Will you come over… here?” if they go out of range. Read Article
