Spidey Draw

Summary

SpideyDraw is an automated drawing robot designed to reproduce digital images on physical surfaces with precision and efficiency. The system integrates art and technology by combining a mobile application with a mechanical robot that can translate uploaded digital sketches into real drawings. It operates through a square frame equipped with four stepper motors and a servo- controlled pen, offering smooth, controlled movement across the drawing area. This project provides an innovative, educational, and low-cost platform for learning about robotics, control systems, and mechatronics.

Problems

• Traditional drawing or plotting methods rely heavily on manual work, which can be slow and inconsistent.

• lack of portable and flexible systems that can easily connect to modern devices like smartphones for interactive use.

Challenges

• Difficulty in maintaining drawing accuracy across different surface sizes.

• Synchronization between mechanical and electronic components required fine calibration. Ensuring precise pen movement without vibration or instability was challenging.

Problem Solved

• SpideyDraw successfully addresses these challenges by providing a lightweight, affordable, and easy-to-use robotic system.

• The robot receives an image from a mobile app via Wi-Fi, processes it into coordinate paths, and accurately draws it using stepper motors and a servo-controlled pen.
