A small robotic arm can bring your digital sketches to life, by re-creating your on-screen drawings with a pen and paper.
The robotic drawing arm was designed by a team of researchers, who combined their knowledge of kinetic art, drawing machines and internet-connected microprocessor chips to develop the idea. The arm, dubbed Line-us, mimics the user's drawing motions to re-create a digital sketch with pen and paper, by connecting to an app via Wi-Fi.
At its heart, the machine was developed to be a device for people to play with, said Robert Poll, a technologist and one of Line-us' co-founders. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created] https://www.livescience.com/58030-robotic-drawing-arm-sketches.html
