MVWT Vision System

The MVWT Vision System operates the four cameras on the ceiling over the testbed and determines the position and orientation of all the robots with hats on the testbed. The vision system will not recognize robots without hats and will not recognize hats that are not near its focus level, which is about 20 cm above the raised floor.



(ABOVE) Currently "owned" by the Tokyo fire department, these "Robokiyu" (sound it out -- it means robot that kills you) bots were designed to "rescue" people from any situation. As you can see, rescuing is as simple as being grabbed by the neck with their throat-piercing arms and dragged into their digestive system (read: rotating blades of death). I, for one, am not going to sit back and wait for the robots to destroy me. I'm fighting back, with a hat (or the closest most hattish-thingy I can find).

Yes. that machine looks like it could go anywhere. Up stairs, through normal-sized living room doors etc. And I'm sure the camaras can see through smoke. There is hardly ever any smoke in an emergency anyway, you know.
