Line-us

Durrell Bishop and Robert Poll presented Line-us, a little robot arm that can copy your motion with a pen, and recreate whatever you drawn on screen with its own drawing style.

Line-us is a little robot arm. It can copy your motion with a pen and recreate whatever you drawn on screen. Line-us has its own drawing style and character, it’s not a plotter or printer – it’s a drawer. It’s a pilot project and the Kickstarter campaign is an invitation to the community of backers to get their hands on the first 1000 machines. Line-us encourages drawing and experimenting.

The Line-us app lets users save their drawings, send them as messages to friends and family or publish them to a public gallery for others to follow. The app has also been designed with several simple tools to let anyone play with Line-us. You can trace directly from a camera or your photos, erase, mirror and enlarge anything you want.
