Behind the scenes of Discovery Channel's Prototype This from the Boxing Robots episode. Testing of our robots before the final boxing match. These 10-foot robots are controlled by players outside of the ring using accelerometers to determine punch type and optical glyph tracking to sense body position. This data is transmitted to a control PC which will move the hydraulic-based robots in the proper sequences. A Hall Effect sensor is mounted to each robot's head and is used to detect when the robot has been punched hard enough to deplete its "health."
