2A2-Q09 Shader Printer Robot : rewritable graphics on everyday objects in the living room(Robots for Home/Office Application)

Abstract

We introduce a novel robot system "Shader Printer Robot" that can print graphics on everyday objects and environments. Our system exploits the persistence and states of color changing materials as a physical framebuffer for graphics on arbitrary surfaces. Graphics produced with our system last without requiring energy and are rewriteable. These unique properties enable various applications in which traditional display; projector or manufacturing technology is not feasible.
