Questo robot LEGO può farti il ritratto!

Bandiera ItalianaSignore e signori, ecco a voi LEGONARDO, un robot ritrattista fatto con i LEGO. E’ la mia quarta generazione di robot in grado di disegnare. E’ ispirato al lavoro degli orologiai e costruttori di automi Svizzeri del 18esimo secolo Pierre Jacquet-Droz and Henri Maillardet. Dopo aver letto il romanzo The Invention of Hugo Cabret, ho riprogettato completamente il mio robot ritrattista precedente, e gli ho dato questa forma umana. Il nome LEGONARDO vuole essere un tributo a Leonardo Da Vinci, artista e inventore Italiano. I disegni sono generati da un software originale che ho scritto, simile a quello che ho usato per il mio primo robot ritrattista.

VOGLIO UN RITRATTO!

This LEGO robot can draw your portrait!

March 2013: Ladies and gentlemen, here is LEGONARDO, a LEGO portrayer robot. It is my fourth generation drawing machine. It is inspired by the work of 18th Century Swiss watch and automata makers Pierre Jacquet-Droz and Henri Maillardet. After reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret, I completely redesigned my portrayer into this shape. The name is a tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian artist and inventor. The drawings are generated by a custom software I wrote, similar to the one used for my first LEGO portrayer robot.

Autumn 2011: Here is the second version of my portrayer robot, in the shape of a little figure sitting at a table. You can observe that actually this robot has the same structure as my first portrayer robot. The third prototype I made had about the same size as this one, and featured a different mechanism for the arm. It could draw very well, but the resulting drawings were too small (about 5x5cm), and it was too slow for public performance.

The building instructions and program for this project are not available.
