Cable-driven drawing robot

A cable-driven drawing robot that turns any photo into a line drawing and draws it on canvas.

A drawing robot based on a cable-driven mechanism that moves a pen across the canvas by controlling cable lengths. It turns any photo into a line drawing and draws it on the canvas (shown here drawing a map of Iran).

The interesting part was the algorithm that converts an image into a pen path, and the precise coordination of the cables to bring the pen to any point.
