I enjoy building machines that mimic human movements. In 2012, I designed a robotic hand with articulated fingers and joints. I also built a glove fitted with dFlex bend sensors, allowing the wearer to control the robotic hand through their own movements.
This project inspired me to build a robot that could reproduce hand-drawn images. In early 2013, I created a robot that copied drawings from a smartphone screen onto paper. I later adapted it to turn photographs of people into sketched portraits.
The video below shows the robot drawing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
