Shanshan Zhou, Adam Ben-Dror, Joss Doggett from Victoria University used Processing, Open CV, a web cam, an Arduino and a bunch of servo motors to make a Face Tracking Lamp! It is quite freaky how well it seems to work. I can see this being quite a cool thing to put in a store front display to attract a crowd of curious people. Via: Make and Embedds.com ”Pinokio comes in the form of a humble anglepoise desk lamp, yet it redefines our experience of a lamp, a robot, or a computer algorithm. Pinokio the lamp is imbued with the ability to be aware of its environment, especially people, and to express a dynamic range of behaviors. As it negotiates its world, through the synthesis of the algorithm, electronic circuit and structural modifications; we the human audience can see that Pinokio shares many traits possessed by animals, generating a range of emotional sympathies.” Video after the jump

Auto-playing video on a site’s front page is not cool. Just saying.

These are some darn powerful servos! You can hardly see them and yet the lamp moves pretty sprightly. I’ve once looked into using the pantograph mechanism of a lamp just like this for a DIY robot arm and it was just way too heavy for any servos (servos I could afford, anyhow). Unless of course the entire Pinokio is only made to look like a lamp but in fact is made of carbon fiber and other super-light materials. Anyway, pretty cool project!
I don’t think Alan has any control over Vimeo videos in terms of autostarting it. I could be wrong but I think the uploader of the video sets that.

— Looks pretty easy to turn off autoplay to me… See that bit at the end..

I too hate auto-playing videos, but for such a wonderful machine I forgive. I just love the way it refuses to be turned off!
