I love his dry sense of humor; “it looks like crap, but it works like crap”
I don’t trust robots to not catch fire, especially if they’re designed to immobilize me.
Speaking exclusively for myself, I would have to say that the title of this article conjures up only the most terrifying of science fiction writing.
Never seen gear like this. As sporting equipment.
Ok so now we need that inventor guy to take his device and make the computer count how many direct hits with rotten tomatoes/eggs are made and only release the uservictim after a suitable count has been achieved. Number is trebled if occupant is a Donald or a Boris. (Or Nigel, or Mitch, or…)
I’d suggest Steve Bannon, but I’m afraid he might enjoy it.
In his case, bricks would be an acceptable alternative to rotten food, and it does not matter if the computer is unable to count them.
It’s cheating a bit to make us guess how it functions but only show us half of the system. The important part is the laptop with the camera and object detection software programmed to calculate the angle of a human body.
Seems more geared towards the bondage fantasy crowd.
