Light Drawing Robot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 29 of December , 2009 at 3:01 am
We wrote about Nils V├╢lker’s rolling orbital Bluetooth operated thing back in July, and since then, he’s been busy developing this light drawing robot (among, I assume, other things). The principle behind this bot is simple: moving lights + long camera exposure = cool. Very cool. It’s tricky to do, though, especially if you’re trying to draw anything with precision. But robots are great at precision, and if you want a light drawing made up solely of straight lines, Nils’ robot does a bang-up job:

Oh, this is very nice. After some time, we can catalog all the “light art” that people produce with this kind of method.
Very interesting stuff.

moving lights + long camera exposure ?
I want to know why the robot did not leave a visible shadow.

Maybe the bot could also be used for making crop circles as well…
