Robotagger: GML + ABB4400 from Golan Levin on Vimeo.

GML (Graffiti Markup Language) drawings from 000000book.com are converted into DXF via a small Processing utility. Motion paths for a robot arm are developed from these DXF files using Rhino and MasterCam. The ABB IRB-4400 series arm is wielding a 2″ Montana Hardcore marker. Developed 11 January 2010 by Golan Levin and Jeremy Ficca in the CMU Digital Fabrication Laboratory (dFAB).

Pretty cool to see this. It’s safe to say that these bots, markers will never replace a individual’s style and soul. But more proof that technology is remarkable these days.
