Adam got the ARTIE 3000 robot to draw one of my figures:
The robot would have completed the image,
had we not moved it after it drew part of the leg

Adam used Visual Studio Code with the Claude Sonnet 4.6 model to write a Python program that would translate the vector file into the ARTIE 3000 software:
Perhaps we can now download the Python code and upload different SVG files to it -- to get ARTIE 3000 to make other drawings.
Adric first brought the second hand ARTIE 3000 (~$80 new on Amazon) to hack night at Quelab on March 4th, 2026. He then opened the program -- http://192.168.4.1/ -- and drew a cat freehand in the ARTIE interface, to get the robot to then draw the cat on paper:
One can also talk to ARTIE 3000 through -- local.codewithartie.com -- as long as both he and ARTIE are connected to the router at Quelab.
Maybe the next step is to activate ARTIE's eyes, then train him on my drawing style -- so that he can make figure drawings all by himself. That looks possible with a DRAW ME BOT.

- Mark Surguy writes geometric art software, which might somehow be ported into the ARTIE 3000
iPHONE SCULPTURE
For over a decade I have been wanting to make sculptures that viewers can control with their smart phones -- since it's hard to get people to look up from their mobile devices. The ARTIE 3000 is a small leap in that direction.
In 2014 in Phoenix, we quickly put together a robot that moved on the sidewalk, controlled by a tablet in real time, in front of the HeatSync hackerspace:
The Styrofoam sculpture was milled at MetalPhysic in Tucson, from a full body scan we made at the Tucson Sculpture Festival in 2014:
