Interactive robot "Stargazer" arrives: it can be your personal photographer

An interactive robot called "Stargazer," developed by a team at the University of Toronto, uses a seven-motor robotic arm to drive a camera and autonomously track its subject, acting as a personal photographer for video creators. It connects to ChatGPT-3 and Microsoft Azure Speech-to-Text speech recognition and can understand instructions such as high-angle shots and tight framing. It is currently used mainly for testing in teachers' instructional video recording. The team's next step is to improve instruction recognition accuracy and extend the technology to drones or wheeled robots.
