A robot that helps blind people experience paintings. It draws the artwork on the palm of your hand, using warm and cold touches so you can feel where the different colors are.

Visual art is such a large component of human culture. If you visit any art gallery, you'll notice that many of the exhibits are paintings on 2D surfaces. What if you're blind and looking to experience the art as well? What if you could take a picture of a painting and feel the shapes and curves being drawn on your hands? Our inspiration for this project was based in accessibility, to make the idea of art accessible to the visually impaired by adding the elements of touch, sound, and temperature. The inspiration for the name specifically is Bob Ross, who believed that art should be accessible and joyful for everyone, regardless of skill or background.
