A robotic system for images on carpet surface

Abstract

In this study, we propose a system that uses a carpet as a non-luminescent display by utilizing the phenomenon in which different shades of traces can be created by changing the direction of the fibers using a motor. The advantage of this method is that it can be used with existing cloth, does not require ink for drawing, and can be rewritten many times. The contributions of this work are (1) the ability to display images in high resolution and grayscale, and (2) the ability to automatically draw large pictures.
