High Framerate Perception

In my previous post, I covered the design of the Atheon vision engine. In this post, I will talk about how Atheon and Mobius layer a portfolio of optimizations throughout various systems and sub-systems to achieve speeds between 100x and 500x faster than my legacy implementations. This post is a

Let There be Sight

In this post, I'm going to explain the design behind the computer vision engine that Chronos uses. That engine–named Atheon–is tailored to perform computer vision tasks against computer generated interfaces. Working in such a narrow domain enables powerful optimizations and designs which wouldn't make

Dissection of a Bot Platform

Dissection of a Bot Platform

For almost a decade, I've been quietly developing a modular computer vision based automation platform. Recently I realized that the platform–Chronos–had slowly taken over as my largest personal project. The core idea behind Chronos was to create a generic bot, one that was not designed around

Bot Architecture Part 2: Versions & Updates

This is the second installment in a multi-part series about the architecture and design of XenoBot. An introduction to the series and topic is here and the first post is here. One peculiar aspect of bot development is the frequent out-of-cycle updates that will inevitably drive you insane. You see,

Bot Architecture Part 0: Introduction

> This is the introduction to a multi-part series about the architecture and design of XenoBot. You can check out the first installment here [https://nickcano.com/bot-architecture-1/]. Before I dive into the nitty-gritty of XenoBot's architecture, I think it's appropriate to introduce XenoBot at a
