Niklas Roy has created a modern-day take on the two-wheeled robots used in schools in the 1980s with Logo programming. His robots are vector plotters that create artwork and can be built with an Arduino Nano.
Windell Oskay, chief technical officer at Bantam Tools, has introduced the ArtFrame, an artist-centric XY plotter designed for use with traditional materials like brushes, charcoal, and oil sticks. Available in two sizes, the ArtFrame is equipped with a magnetic work surface and stand-alone operation capability, making it suitable for creating physical art from digital designs.
