The Four Cable Drawing Machine was built by artist David Bynoe for the Telus Spark Science Centre in Calgary. It has four stepper motors attached directly to cable spools and a dangling cylindrical mass that draws by dragging itself through a sand pit. The robot is programmed to draw geometric patterns and abstract shapes but of course could draw anything constructed of line segments, dots, and curves. The project is beautiful and simple and I’m sure it’s very captivating to its installation audience at the museum. Note that it only moves in Z to start or stop drawing.
