Good memory not as "robot": Bond can help you write notes

Write emails, edit short messages, tweet, live in a modern life where everyone seems to be a writer. But all the operations are done on electronic devices, and people are getting used to writing with their hands. Now, however, there is a device, exactly, that is a robot named Bond, which helps people to relive the feeling of handwriting. The bond is made up of MakerBot 3D printers and Montblanc pens, using a companion app that allows users to create thank-you notes, holiday cards, or other forms of communication. The robot will use a real pen and write down what you want in the font you choose. If you are willing to spend more money and fax your own fonts, the robot will write down the same font as you. After writing, the Bond robot will seal the envelope and send it to the post office. At present, the service is priced at USD 2.99 and postage is calculated separately. Not only that, Bond is also bundled with customer relationship management software, such as Saleforce, to support enterprise customers. In the 2013, Bond had hoped to become "the Uber of the gift world", and they cooperated with the electrical dealers in the goods sold by each electric dealer with a handwritten note. In the first three months, the service generated 200,000 dollars in revenue, but then they found that it was important to focus on personalized handwriting services. Bond founder Sonny Caberwal is not good at the field of electrical business, especially the management of gift inventory, but is very interested in handwritten cards, so he began to transform. "We made strategic decisions and focused on developing handwritten notes because it's our core goal to help people express their friends ' gratitude," he said. "Like a real person writing, not like a robot to write the beginning, Bond uses the middle of the last century automatic pen technology (a device that can imitate signature handwriting), but this system is not flexible, and can not meet the needs of bond bulk writing." In order to support High-volume writing, Caberwal assembled a number of robotics experts, software engineers, and print typesetting workers. "We combine engineering and hand-written expert teams who have very rich experience in font design," Caberwal said, "Our handwriting team attaches great importance to font design, while combining hardware and software engineering to operate in the most unique way." Our entire process includes software design, hardware design, hardware maintenance, and operational execution. "We know that the fonts on the computer are basically rendered with pixels or print colors, and bond did not do that, and Caberwal insists that robot bond write in human form rather than relying on algorithms (though this is a shortcut)." For example, if a computer writes a lowercase letter "T", it would theoretically take two strokes, a horizontal and then a vertical tick. But people write lowercase "t" usually quickly, and will be linked to the strokes, a complete. These details of the control, let bond write out the words and peopleClass handwriting is very similar. "The order of the Strokes of our robots is very similar to the human handwriting sequence, and the example of this small letter T is just a small part of the alphabet design." In fact, we have been successful in software and hardware. "Caberwal said. To make Bond reach the level of human handwriting, Caberwal's team made a lot of adjustments to the robot. Robots, for example, must be flawless to write, but there may be errors when they write, which requires a balance between the two. "We might even consider a traditional pen, the speed at which the ink naturally flows when writing, to optimize the speed of the bond robot." If the bond robot needs to speed up the pen to write, then the corresponding speed of the ink flowing in the pen needs to be planned again. "Caberwal said. Caberwal that people like musicians, actors, and designers because they can bring people good moods. Beautiful fonts are also the same, can make people feel pleasing, happy, of course, the bond handwriting robot is different.
