Neural Network Gimbal Is Always Watching

Turns out he's even better seated behind his workbench, as the completely custom auto-tracking gimbal he came up with is nothing short of a work of art. There's quite a bit going on here, and as you might expect, it took several iterations before [Gabriel] got all the parts working together. The rather GLaDOS-looking body of the gimbal is entirely 3D printed, and holds the motors, camera, and a collection of ultrasonic receivers. The Nvidia Jetson TX1 that does the computational heavy lifting is riding shotgun in its own swanky looking 3D printed enclosure, but [Gabriel] notes a future revision of the hardware should be able to reunite them. In the current version of the system, the target wears an ultrasonic emitter that is picked up by the sensors in the gimbal.
