For the Deconstruction decentralized hackathon, “The FABricators” from fabulous lab Tulsa developed a street Art Bot. The robot drives around as well as dispenses liquid chalk in a pattern to make walkway art.
The FABricators’ robot is based on an electric wheelchair platform. connected to the base is the hardware for dispensing chalk, which is managed over wifi. The operator drives the robot around the area to chalk, as well as chalk is deposited in the ideal pattern.
In buy to make sure the art is chalked correctly, the robot’s software application needs to understand where the robot is in any way times. This is done utilizing a cam mounted above the area as well as a fiduciary marker that localizes the robot. The tracking is done utilizing the reacTIVision library.
The robot was developed to be expandable, as well as in the future they want to add several colors, or even several robots printing simultaneously. After the break, inspect out a video introduction of the project.
