Developer shares prototype of internet-remote-controlled pneumatic turret
1 reports · 1 sources
A developer (Reddit user Independent_Win_Alex) shared on r/robotics a prototype of a remote pneumatic turret they built independently: players receive a real-time camera feed through a browser and send control commands to a physical turret located in Phuket, Thailand. The turret is connected to a zombie defense game, whose visuals are made in Unity and projected onto a physical screen. The system consists of 3D-printed mechanical parts, a servo gimbal, a pneumatic firing mechanism, electronic control, and networked command transmission. The author says a low-cost camera is used, and the room lights are dimmed to make the projected image easier to see. The author frames the prototype as a "remote physical control" experiment and says they hope to receive technical feedback on communication reliability and latency, and on architectures for safe remote operation.
