Intelligent Nerf Turret

Nerf gun turret powered by IoT, machine learning, image recognition, speech to text and natural language processing.

Logic Flow

1. Capture image
2. Process, recognize and classify image using Microsoft Custom Vision Service
3. Based on classification, target or not target
4. Rotate to capture new object in view
