MY ROBOT P
A robot-designer who imitates me but doesn’t copy.
TECHNIQUE Iron / Plexiglass / Arduino1
COLLABORATION Miocugino – Officina di gesta e ingegno2
P draws.
It moves a compatible cursor with the use of motors and different types of pens, markers and pencils of various sizes.
P has two brains.
Its electronic control is managed by the combination of two different circuit boards: Raspberry Pi hosts a website which is accessible from a Wi-Fi network thanks to which you can upload the files to run whilst Arduino receives the data package used to manage the drivers of the stepper motors.
P is my new colleague.
P imitates me.
P imitates me but doesn’t copy.
– Poem of P –
I wanted an egocentric colleague.
To feel less alone.
Who could draw alongside me.
And so P was born.
