Autonomous Mech Warfare Robot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 25 of November , 2009 at 2:14 am
This is all kinds of awesome, but it’s the sound that really makes it. Plus I love watching how excited the robot (named X-BRAT) gets when he spots his target. And then, kaBLAM! The target acquisition and firing system is fully autonomous, and X-BRAT is being built to compete in the Mech Warfare event at RoboGames 2010. When he’s done, his designer (xdream on the Trossen Robotics forums) will just stick him in the arena and autonomous carnage will ensue. More details are available in a discussion thread here.

Very nice! I wonder how it does if you switch the range?

At 0:36 it looks like the robot attacks him?!
Oh sure it starts off as RoboGames, then before you know it, they are saying, you have 20 seconds to comply whilst asking for The Uzi nine millimeter and the Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

I’m the creator of X-BRAT…what if funny is that I’m working on a nother robot called Johnny-X which will have voice recognition and speech synthesis. I plan to make some videos where Johnny says…”you have 20 seconds to comply”…
