Drawing Robot Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci

The Leonardo da Vinci Robot Society is a group of robotics enthusiasts and passionate fans of da Vinci. 2019 will mark 500 years since the creator’s death, and celebrate the group developed a robotic tool based on da Vinci’s programmable computer. The group enlisted the help of Robert Sabuda for his expertise in non-electronic mechanisms and created the Drawmaton, a programmable wooden robot that draws. A Kickstarter campaign is running to fund the first round of production parts.
Drawmaton takes inspiration from original drawings and the Codex Atlanticus to create the drawing machine. Three different styles are available through Kickstarter – The Robot with a robotic drawing hand, the skeletal Gambler with a bony drawing hand and the Slayer with a dragon icon and a gauntlet drawing hand built to look like a knight’s gauntlet from da Vinci’s time.
