Aim Lab

Combine camera-based perception with motor control, then inspect alignment and shot outcomes.

01

Connect perception, motion, and timing

The lessons evaluate visual alignment, target selection, shot placement, and tracking.

  1. 01

    Lock On

    Align the turret using the target’s camera image.

  2. 02

    Pick the Target

    Select the requested target among distractors.

  3. 03

    Steady Shot

    Knock down three plates with four rounds; inspect shot placement.

  4. 04

    Moving Target

    Maintain alignment with a plate moving along a rail.

02

Read the visual control loop

The main view, mask, and external view provide different evidence about the same run.

Camera & reticle

The main view shows the target relative to the aiming direction.

2

Your mask

The inset shows the image region selected by the program.

3

Third-person view

An external view of the turret and range.

03

Shot placement

Any plate hit removes it. Ring points describe where the shot landed.

Outcome & score

This run hit one plate for 50 points and used all four rounds.

2

Angular error

Pan and tilt errors are plotted over time for the selected plate.

3

Release events

Vertical markers show shot release times. Trigger-to-release delay is 0.2 s.

04

Questions for your experiment

Use the image and response record to explain the outcome before making the next change.

PERCEPTIONDoes the mask select the intended target throughout the attempt?

MOTIONHow does image alignment change as the turret moves?

SHOT PLACEMENTWhat do the release markers, angular error, and ring result show about each shot?
