Botsy is the brand name for an advanced wall-drawing robot, designed for precision, speed, and efficiency in large-scale murals and image transfer to walls for mural hand-painting. BotsyART models offer different drawing areas and applications, providing versatility for beginners and professionals in mural painting, digital artwork, and custom wall designs.

Patent No: US 10,877,459 B2. 

Drawing Robot Control: BotsyART is powered by an Arduino or ESP32 microcontroller and functions as a vertical 2-axis CNC machine or wall pen plotter. You can control it via Bluetooth or a USB cable from your laptop.

Software: Botsy, the automated drawing robot, is manually controlled and operates on free software, including UGS Platform (Universal Gcode Sender), GRBL, and Inkscape, a graphic design program for vector files. Windows OS & macOS.

External Dimensions of the Installed Drawing Robot:

BotsyART 86, length: 8 ft. x height: 6 ft. (244 cm x 183 cm)

BotsyART 64, length: 6 ft. x height: 4 ft. (183 cm x 122 cm)

Robot Drawing Area, length x height:

84 inch x 64 inch (213 cm x 163 cm) for BotsyART 86

61 inch x 42 inch (155 cm x 107 cm) for BotsyART 64

You can further enlarge the drawing area by adjusting the drawing machine’s position horizontally or vertically. This creates a tiled set of adjacent sketching areas, allowing you to make a large wall mural artwork. For example, this large mural was outlined in four sections and then hand-painted at the University of Florida.

According to a professional artist with a diploma from the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), Botsy speeds up the wall outlining process for complex vector art by up to 10 times.

Robot Drawing Speed: Our drawing tool isn’t designed for meditation—it works fast! The speed varies depending on your art project requirements, but at medium speed, Botsy efficiently transfers a detailed vector graphic (84 inches by 64 inches) onto the wall in just 25 to 30 minutes. No need to sit back and reflect—just watch it get the job done! (See "The Drawing Area" above.)

Draw and Erase with Ease: Looking to experiment, sketch a sample, or create temporary vector wall art? Botsy, designed for precision and speed as a professional tool, works seamlessly with commercial markers. While Scribit follows a different approach, Botsy ensures fast and effortless erasing—simply wash off the drawing with a moist sponge or cloth and wipe with paper towels. This makes it an efficient choice for artists who need quick adjustments or temporary designs, with no need for special markers with thermo-disappearing ink.

Pen and Marker Range: 0.35" - 0.86" (9mm - 22mm).

The drawing machine doesn’t require exclusive markers. You have a wide range of options available, including Permanent Markers, Dry Erase Markers, Washable Markers, Chalks, Chalk Markers, Pencils, and more. Choose the one you prefer for your drawing. For example, a standard Sharpie marker has a diameter of 0.47" (12mm), while a chalk marker has a diameter of 0.64" (16mm), and both easily fit into Botsy's pen holder.

Clearance from Pen Holder to the Wall: 1/2” (12.7mm)

Electrical Power Adapter: input 100 - 240VAC, output 12VDC 3A, UL certified

Weight: 4.0 lbs (1.8 kg) for BotsyART 86 and 3.4 lbs (1.5 kg) BotsyART 64

Hardware Requirements: A laptop with Bluetooth and/or a USB port. The laptop is not included with the BotsyART tool set, but it is available as an optional purchase with all necessary software pre-installed and set up, so you can start your outlines right away.

Software Requirements: Windows OS, macOS X or Linux.
