Mosaic Building Robot: Artaic

1

Although mosaics are one of the oldest art forms, Robotics is adding a new twist that will change everything.

Artaic is a robot that essentially builds mosaics when it is given a picture. It is composed of a software portion and a hardware portion. When an image is fed into the software, it breaks it up into uniform squares, into a mosaic. This design is refined by a designer and then the data is given to the hardware arm. The arm selects 1-inch tiles and turns them into a mosaic picture. The resulting mosaics are both cleaner and cheaper than their conventional counterparts.
