Real Tracking and Shooting Portal Turret

This is the final project for my Advanced Mechatronics class at Penn State University. The robot is the skeleton of a turret from the game Portal that uses an IP webcam to track a target and fire nerf bullets at them. This is the current state of the robot as of 5/9/12, but I am currently molding a shell for the frame to make it look like the Portal turret, along with improving my code to make the tracking faster. All programming is done with MATLAB and Arduino. Enjoy!

Amazing!

[lifescience2050]

was the slow speed of tracking caused by servo,software algorithm or sth else?

MAKE A VID OF WHEN ITS DONE

Because by the end of portal 2 she realizes that she cant have her there

[Radicaldanny]

She did let Chell go in the end... :\

[pigsticker3]

Well Im all for testing ! And GLaDOS was ALL right to try to kill Chell . Because of the morons at Black Mesa , there are aliens everywhere over the Portal and Half Life universe . So GLaDOS was killing everyone in a way of graceful death . With neurotoxin <3

[Radicaldanny]

GLaDOS isn't Santa, hope you have a big wallet if she agrees at all... :P

[Adrio Hanif]
