MIT created a very impressive pantograph, a machine that mimics the way people paint. How; the pantograph is an unmanned aircraft or drone.
The system monitors the user's pen movements as he plans. These movements are recorded by a computer, and by a link they are exported to an unmanned aircraft that can design on a larger canvas in real time.
The authors of the research from MIT explain their project:
“In this work, we use drone technology to create a flying medium that allows to design at different scales and locations through a computer. Unlimited human (painter) movements provide unlimited possibilities to carry out various artistic distortions of the drawing directly from a user's hand in real time, creating a new dynamic medium of creative expression.
Watch the impressive video
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
