Disney has introduced a new autonomous robot turtle, which uses the beach as a canvas to draw cute cartoon drawings to entertain you, without even asking for your help.
The BeachBot was developed by a team at the Zurich division of Disney Research, which uses an algorithm to transform images into trajectories allowing the robot turtle to follow the four poles placed in four corners to determine the drawing area in the sand and scoot around while leaving its trace behind to draw adorable cartoons in the sand.
