Prompt: Invent an Imaginary Embedded System
Tell us about an embedded system that does not exist. It can be grandiose or strange; it can be something just one step beyond what you have around you. Ideally it is something you personally want to build (even if physics doesn’t allow it). What is it? What does it do? What general components do you need?
The muralbot is a small device that acts as a self-driving plotter on a wall. It is able to adhere to many kinds of surfaces using its sticky wheels while still allowing for freedom of movement, even on vertical surfaces.
The main components are:
- Spray can or marker for drawing
- Motors to drive the wheels
- A solenoid to raise & lower the marker
- Bluetooth to receieve drawing information
