Fablab O Shanghai's Dishu Machine

Fablab O Shanghai is presenting its "Dishu Machine" a robot capable of making large paintings of Chinese poetry using water on the ground. Watch the robot slowly dance with a brush and water: but hurry up, the calligraphy will evaporates soon!

He used the assignment on machine design for Fab Academy to develop and make the machine, helped by the team in the Fablab
