Brief

The proliferation of “writers” and their “tags” also reflects negatively on the level of urban decorum, regardless of area or city. It is therefore important to be able to find a solution that will make tag removal faster and more effective, so as to not only counteract the phenomenon in the short term, but also and especially in the long term, deterring the writers from reiterating the act of vandalism by going to make their efforts appear futile in their own eyes.

Solution

TRS 001, acronym for “Tag Removal System”, is a robot that is responsible for geometrically and chromatically analyzing the wall on which it is intended to operate in order to remove the “tags” made on painted walls by covering them with one or more layers of paint. The surface analysis phase is delegated to a set of cameras positioned on the front of the robot, in between the paint nozzles. Then, thanks to the presence of several canisters of paint of different colors in the body of the robot itself, the machine takes care of mixing them independently so as to obtain the right shade to be applied.
