“…The combination of these screen transformation, allows the user to form screen without the need for mechanical features (avoiding noise). Our Sonic-Spray precisely controls the laminar flow in mid-air and this is useful for art application (e.g., airbrush drawing) or light painting applications such in work by Huang et al [9]. Our technique can act as an alternative to the bulky robotic arm that is used in the drawing work.…”

Figure 1. Applications enabled by SonicSpray: (a) SonicSpray is visualising a graphical clock in mid-air by laterally oscillating its narrow mist, (b) game of whack a mole, (c) projection of butterfly that is moving in 3D spatial space, (d) a visual of a person in a video call application. ABSTRACTPermeable, mid-air displays, such as those using fog or water mist are limited by our ability to shape and control the aerosol and deal with two major issues: (1) the size and complexity of the system, and (2) the creation of laminar flow, to retain display quality. Here we present SonicSpray, a technique using ultrasonic Bessel beams to create reconfigurable mid-air displays. We build a prototype from low-cost, off-the-shelf parts. We explore the potential and limitations of SonicSpray to create and redirect laminar flows of fog. We demonstrate a working prototype that precisely controls laminar aerosols through only 6x6 ultrasound transducers array. We describe the implementation steps to build the device, verify the control and projection algorithm for the display, and evaluate its performance. We finally report our exploration of several useful applications, in learning, entertainment and arts.

“…Interesting examples are the spray painting systems based on a serial manipulator [19] or on an aerial mobile robot [20], the robotic system based on a team of mobile robots equipped for painting [21], and the artistic robot capable of creating artworks using the palette-knife technique proposed in [22]. Other applications of robotic systems to art include light painting, performed with a robotic arm [23] or with an aerial robot [24], as well as the stylized water-based clay sculpting realized with a robot with six degrees of freedom in [25].…”

Robotic Sponge and Watercolor Painting Based on Image-Processing and Contour-Filling Algorithms

et al. 2022

In this paper, the implementation of a robotic painting system using a sponge and the watercolor painting technique is presented. A collection of tools for calibration and sponge support operations was designed and built. A contour-filling algorithm was developed, which defines the sponge positions and orientations in order to color the contour of a generic image. Finally, the proposed robotic system was employed to realize a painting combining etching and watercolor techniques. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of robotic painting that uses the watercolor technique and a sponge as the painting media.
