Disney sure does have the nicest stuff.
And now they’ve added to their arsenal of cute machines, coming out with the BeachBot, a fully autonomous robot used for drawing pictures in the sand.
It works by using a series of actuated pins that dig into the sand; the more pins extended, the thicker the line. The artist places cones down in the sand to mark the canvas, and the robot reads some markers to calculate its position in that canvas. It can then be fed an digital image and is off, carving up the sand.
