Grass Drawing Robot

Instead of having robots like the Roomba simply scurrying around our homes cleaning or performing other mundane tasks wouldn't it be nice if there were some that were expressive both in an aesthetic and socially conscious way.



"Grower is a small 'rover' vehicle which navigates around the periphery of a room. It hugs the room’s walls and responds to the carbon dioxide levels in the air by actually drawing varying heights of 'grass' on the walls in green ink....My machine’s grass growing is a dynamic, emergent behavior in which humans participate involuntarily. This behavior allows the Grower to ‘nest’ the space – meaning, make the space into one where you find evidence of natural, organic change."

Grower was created by artist Sabrina Raaf be sure to check out the rest of her work here.
