Automatic Bullseye, MOVING Dartboard

Mark Rober demonstrates a custom-built dartboard that uses motion capture and real-time tracking algorithms to move and catch darts in the center.

I have been working on this board for over 3 years. Super pumped to finally share it with all y'all. Here is a link to some of the software we wrote: dropbox.com/s/rlmhdjoqzyumme1/darts.zip?dl=0 MUSIC- 0:08- I'm so- Andrew Applepie- andrewapplepie.com/ 0:37- Cereal Killa- Blue Wednesday - soundcloud.com/bluewednesday/ 3:49- Berlin- Andrew Applepie- andrewapplepie.com/ 5:41- Special song written just fo my bad self- Lincoln Hoppe, lincolnhoppe.com/ 6:26- Too Happy to be cool by Notebreak- soundcloud.com/notebreak/dubstep-too-happy-to-be-cool Summary: I fulfilled a 3 year long dream to create a dartboard where you get a bullseye every time thanks to some engineering. Basically, you throw a dart and then a Vicon motion capture system tracks the dart in the air. We use those x,y,z positions in matlab to predict where the dart will land using some regression analysis. Once we know where it will land, we move the board to the right spot using 6 stepper motors that attach to the back of the board using fishing line. All of this happens in 400ms or so. Then we took it to a bar to see what people would think of it (SPOILER ALERT: they liked it) PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING: tinyurl.com/MarkRober-Sub ****************************************­ I make videos like this once a month all year long while supplies last: CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL: tinyurl.com/MarkRober-YouTube FACEBOOK: facebook.com/MarkRoberYouTube TWITTER: twitter.com/#!/MarkRober INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/markrober/
