@tsdoom32x there's a series of defined search zones where a camera captures an image, then converts it to a binary system so the computer can try to find objects that match the "target" template. I still haven't accounted for range though.
@QuebecoisSti yeah it's definitely possible although I've never done anything like that before. Typically the controller takes the image and makes a grayscale out of it, and converts it to binary pixels. It could work the same if it were an infrared image. But the imaging software would be different of course...
@QuebecoisSti This one is an RJ2....personally I wouldn't buy anything older than that. Hard to find parts for the older ones. But that's my preference!
I think you have the time before/ time after function. While you are wasting time it would be fun to see it you could teach the target as a TCP. If you can you would be able to rotate all around in CNT movements and put the gun in auto, while always hitting the target. Make sure your payload is set correctly in Motion (then Cold Start) as it looks like it is doing long accel/decel. Pretty cool video guys!
@gerglmuff - I would but it's not anchored yet (shhhh). However even if none of the movements used a break, the robot'd still pause slightly for the data processing to catch up. The new controllers don't do it but these older ones do....uggh
really? the robots i was working on are super old but when you set them to no-decel all they do is wait for the encoder to read the target, and then move on to the next move. really good for rapid transit, bad bad bad for accuracy.
@gerglmuff - It'll do that (called "continuous path") but only when the next line of the robot's program is a movement or logic instruction. But in this case the robot has to pause since it uses crosstalk signaling with an industrial computer sending it information about the firing mode. So essentially there's a "wait..." instruction before the next move, and if it takes longer than the decelleration time then it comes to a complete stop.
high...how does it know what to shoot???

do you think it can be possible to use thermal imaging tracking ?

ok
is it an RJ or RH controller yours ?

Where on earth did you get a heavy industrial processing robot?

@Live2Pwn2010 I bought it so I could automate the CNC lathe (right behind the robot)

put a camera on it and mount it at the castle at hellsurvivors it would make it 10 times harder to take that thing

It is 2010 and My God, we are at war with the robots afterall. How long before we see a T800 with dual Ions?

that's probably the best upgrade for an ion.
