Street Writer - and other projects...

the Institute for Applied Autonomy (IAA) has been for years working on a number of different projects, most of which directly or indirectly involve robotics or some sort of human=machine interaction.

One fo their more interesting pieces is the Street Writer. A descendent of the fully independent moving robot equiped with a series of spray cans controlled by an onboard computer to deliver text messages on the pavement codenamed "Graffiti Writer". The SW consists of a large white utility van equipped with the same arrange of computer controlled spray cans than its younger brother.. but at a much larger scale.

visit the IAA website for videos and more info on their other projecs such as little brother.
