INTRODUCING BUCKY::LINER

Bucky::Liner is an autonomous paint co-bot developed by our team at Sonoma State University in the Electrical Engineering Department circa 2018-2019.

​

Bucky::Liner's is designed with a minimal time human set up time of 5 minutes. User prompts from LCD help with the relining process by including prompts for manually changing out up to 9 empty cans per field. Bucky aims to repaint lines on soccer fields as the soccer market is the largest of all sports. Our goal is to make the entry level autonomous grass painting world more accessible to a wider demographic than our expensive single competitor on the market today.

Bucky::Liner will be able to see the existing line on field with an on-board camera and follow this line while applying a fresh coat of paint on the fading line to help keep the soccer ball within defined bounds.
