Art Robots:
Machines that Draw

Pete Prodoehl
RasterWeb!

What is an “Art Bot”!?
I consider an Art Bot any sort of robotic-
type device that creates art...

The art in question can be music, or
performance, or anything that ﬁts into the
arts, but I tend to focus on robots that
draw, because drawing is...AWESOME!

What is an “Art Bot”!?
But I’m not talking about printers... printers
print things, and while that’s ﬁne, often Art
Bots work with the same drawing tools
humans would use, such as pens, pencils,
chalk, markers, or even cans of spray paint.

Welcome to the world of... Drawbots!

DIGITAL FABRICATION STUDIO (25438) The course provides a general understanding on how to design and manufacture products and prototypes in a Fab Lab, using digital fabrication technologies and understanding their features and limits. Students will learn how information shapes design, manufacturing and collaboration processes and artifacts in a Fab Lab. They will learn how to digitally fabricate a project or how to digitally modify an existing project; students will also learn how to manage, embed and retrieve information about a project. Projects and prototypes developed and manufactured in this course will not be interactive. The course consists of lectures and a group project to be digitally fabricated, be it a project already designed but not yet realized or be it the modification of an existing project. Every lecture (3 hours) includes time for testing the technologies covered (1 hour) and for developing part of the group project and for receiving feedback about it (1 hour). http://mlab.taik.fi/studies/courses/course?id=1963

3D printed cars, homes, prosthetic hands, food, International Space Station tools, and almost anything imagined is now mainstream. 3D printing seems to have taken over the world and 3D printers are now affordable for many consumers. However, basic 3D design principles tend to be neglected, especially in library makerspaces. 3D printing objects work well only when one follows basic fundamentals of 3D design. In this webinar: - Understand 3D printing and how it works. - Discover a variety of free 3D design applications and repositories. - Learn basic 3D design fundamentals (e.g., understanding 3D space and geometry, modeling, surfaces, textures, and rendering images). - Gain hands-on experience designing a 3D object that can be 3D printed. Note: it is recommended attendees create a Tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com/) account before this workshop.

Discord is a free app offering voice, video, and text chat functionalities, primarily catering to the gaming community. It serves as a hub for users to create and join servers tailored to their interests. Discord’s ecosystem comprises servers, each functioning as a distinct online community with its own channels dedicated to specific topics or activities. Users can engage in text-based discussions, voice calls, or video chats within these channels. Understanding Discord Servers Discord servers are virtual spaces where users congregate to interact, share content, and build communities. Servers may revolve around gaming, hobbies, interests, or fandoms, providing a platform for like-minded individuals to connect. Communication Features Discord offers a range of communication tools, including text channels for messaging, voice channels for real-time audio conversations, and video channels for face-to-face interactions. These features facilitate seamless communication and collaboration. What Does NSFW Mean? The acronym NSFW stands for “Not Safe For Work,” indicating content that may be inappropriate for professional or public settings. NSFW Content NSFW content encompasses material that is sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise graphic in nature. It often includes nudity, profanity, or depictions of sensitive topics.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
