Oh I'm sure he already knows.
...and really how hard would it be to build one of these, the level of CV required is already solved off the shelf, the rest is sensors, servos, a gun to strap to it and programming.
I'd expect a none-trivial percentage of the HN could build one with the resources available.
- wongarsu 7y agoIt would be quite a fun project. You could even use machine learning to predict the motion of the target to be most effective even when you reach 1-4 seconds bullet travel time (1 second at the range of the effective range, 4 seconds at maximum range). Reliably detecting humans sounds hard though. This is a highly adversarial scenario, they will do anything from carrying cardboard in front of them to disguising as wildlife and vegetation. I'm not sure this is even solvable without shooting down anything that moves and is unidentified.
