npentre determined that it wasn’t sufficient to construct a Guardian sentry from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The maker determined to construct a Guardian sentry that may be a actual sentry that may observe people, canine, and different neighborhood creatures. Right here’s extra from hackaday:
The construct depends on a Raspberry Pi kitted out with its ordinary digicam for machine imaginative and prescient functions. It makes use of the Viam robotic toolkit, which runs a machine studying mannequin to detect pets and people on the digicam feed. The guardian then tracks any pets or people that present up by turning its head, and thus the digicam, with a servo managed by a PWM sign through the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins. It’s all wrapped up in a nicely-decorated 3D printed mannequin that actually does seem like one thing straight out of Breath of the Wild.
