Piccolo The Sketch Drawing Robot

Piccolo can be said as the perfect companion for a graphic designer or an engineer as it helps him to sketch his creativity. Piccolo is a small pocket sized robot which uses servo mechanism for developing and deploying the accurate 2D or 3D output. Like all other robots, this one also works according to CNC technology. CNC is the acronym of Computer Numerical Control. Here the computer converts the design produced by the computer aided design software (CAD) into numbers. These numbers denote different coordinates – that is X, Y and Z in a graph. This technology is employed in a number of places such as the automatic machine cutting, or the drawing tool. We can sketch a simple drawing or cut a sheet using a laser tip by attaching the corresponding tip to this bot. Piccolo will work according to the type of tip attached to it. Another important advantage of Piccolo is its portability. We can carry this cool machine anywhere with us. When compared to other CNC based robots, this one does not cost thousands of dollars but just $70.This device was introduced by the Diatom studio from London with the collaboration of Cheng Xu and Huaishu Peng From CoDe Lab.

Piccolo is free – anyone can change its style. The magic size is simple; it can be constructed easily and is simple to use. The Piccolo contains Arduino and handling your local library so that we can use Piccolo as we wish like going instantly or by addressing a indicator. We can interact with several piccolos to perform together so that it could make a bigger material. In the Piccolo kit we are offered with the ability to make 3D or 2D images according to our wish.

The stylish style and convenience of use has created Piccolo the preferred of developers. It can be used as a studying device for newbies who want to discover the wide abilities of the CNC area. Now piccolo is only in the magic size level but we anticipate the Arduino -compatible foundation to convert our ambitions into nice images in the long run.
