I got in touch with him after getting his textbook to learn more about the subject: amazon.com/dp/0124096026 This robot uses a tormach ZA6 to tend the writing robot: tormach.com/machines/robots.html Heres the 3D printers we designed in onshape: hubs.ly/Q01RNGdr0 Machine learning Resources: Generating Sequences with Recurrent Neural Networks: arxiv.org/abs/1308.0850 Code for Handwriting Synthesis with RNNs: github.com/sjvasquez/handwriting-synthesis If you want to learn more about machine learning, this is a good overview that gets into the math behind them: youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk&list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000… Other stuff: LSTM cell image By Guillaume Chevalier - File:The_LSTM_Cell.svg, CC BY-SA 4.0, commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=109362147What people say. Recommended as an entertaining and educational engineering project showing the trials of building a handwriting synthesis robot.
