011::AUTOMATE SELF HATE
A WORK IN PROGRESS
a table mounted robot arm programmed to track and stab towards a human using face detection.
self projection and the resulting anthropomorphism of machine and code.
human responsibilities are often replaced by computer automated processes when feasible.
if constructive human action can be automated to reduce strain or cut costs then destruction, in this case self directed, ought to be automated and externalized
such that the human who owns or operates the robot can be relieved of that fruitless obligation.
NEXT STEPS
- smoothing stabbing motion
- enabling wider range of motion in y, reducing range of motion in x
- fine tuning range
- establishing permanent camera location for calibration
- designing 3d printable frame and making it drippy
- designing custom knife end effector
NEXT NEXT STEPS [ maybe ]
- different forms of self destructive automation
