Having to refill the colors seems like the main downside of this. With how long it seems to take it would be nice if you could just set and forget and not keep checking on it. You could extend the color ‘hopper’, and modify it so you can see the height of each color stack with tick marks for every 10 plates. Then the program could print out the number of each color that is needed in the current design and you’d know up to what tick mark you need to fill each color at minimum to complete the ‘print’ without needing a refill. The program could also prompt the user for how many of each color they have and do two passes on the image: first for each pixel compute a ‘difference’ value for each available color, then in the second pass always first greedily assign colors to those remaining unplaced pixels with the lowest ‘difference’ to the colors, tracking the remaining colors you’d have and always assigning the next lowest ‘difference’ color that also is still available. This should result in the final design never using more of a color than what you have, while still looking as ‘close’ as possible to the desired image. A neat side effect of this is that you could effectively choose palettes - eg. If you only specifying counts for various black/grey/white plates then the final design it outputs would be completely greyscale. Same if you only input counts for blue tones. You could also include dithering as a means to better approximate colors and better handle not having enough of a color.
Yes, this might be the first time I cared about the aesthetics of my code and I am liking it lol 😄. Looking forward to the next video too! Finally getting some upgrades in with Dave.
What if the program could tell you the number of peices of each color it needs before starting? Like a heads up. "You will need to refill black 2 times and gray once"
If you wanted to speed it up, you could have the pick and place be able to grab more tiles at a time and have each stack be able to dispense tiles onto a belt. Then the dispensers could queue up the next strip of tiles while the gantry is placing it, and you reduce the number of gantry trips
This is utterly amazing! As others pointed out, the synergy of all your skills makes this video one of the best lego videos I've seen in a while. Keep it up!
Through the whole era of 32-bit Windows, the icons came in 32x32 pixel flavor. It would be fun to see some classic icons getting revived in LEGO. Winamp anyone?
Wow! congratulations mate!! you did a truly amazing job designing and building this machine from scratch! your skills at robotics and coding were wonderful to watch! well done! :)
Hello. I am an old fan and you probably dont remember me but I suggested a few ideas for you and you actually built them.(for example chess playing robot, arcade). I just wanted to say congratulations on already hitting almost 250k subscribers and still uploading videos. You blew up. Hope to see more. Big fan.
Hey! Thank you for watching my videos! I appreciate it! I do remember going back into the comments to your comment about the chess machine after making it. Your early support meant a lot, and it’s awesome to see you still here. Can’t wait to share more projects with you!
The reason making the image smaller makes it all blurry is because it (probably) uses bilinear interpolation when resizing the image. With whatever software you are resizing, you can probably change this method to use nearest neighbor in stead, nearest neighbor will simply use a single color from the original and use that, there's no average. This achieves basically the same as what you did, but you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
I actually thought the scaled image at 8:25 looked better than the eventual result. Anti-aliasing by grey pixels helps to smooth the lines while keeping the correct shapes, and the machine has grey 1x1s to use. Look at it from further away and the “ugly, washed-out image” looks better than the wrong-shaped sharper-coloured version. Darn, now I have to build the whole machine myself to get that result I prefer :)
i have a suggestion to make a pixel art with good quality u can divide the picture into 4 part each 32 * 32 and then create those 4 parts and join them together . if you repeat this process again and again you can have a 1024 * 1024 pixel art EDIT- Subscribed after watching this video
@@CreativeMindstorms you can make a smaller version 256 *256 that will also be good and more amazing you can achieve this by upgrading the size of the portrait like form 32 to 64 and then to 128 and then to 256 this would also be good and you can also create a video on it
How about adjusting the machine so it preloads the colours in the programmed order. So instead of going to get the studs everytime, it loads 10 studs at a time.
Multiple placing heads could multiply speed as well, they could be mounted on the same y axis actuator and place pixels simultaniously but 3 or 4 rows/columns apart
As a Mindstorms collector I'm a little biased when it comes to the awesomeness of Mindstorms creations, but I'll say it anyway: "You, and your creations, are awesome!".
Cool project! To capture how a human would draw things like a sunflower at this scale vs. the garbled mess you get from downscaling, you need an ai trained on pixel art. There are stable diffusion models that do this. You could even train your own on lego-colored 32x32 images specifically. Another idea: You could use the full range of lego colors if you simply do multiple passes. You could even go so far and make the software plan ahead and ask for stacks of specific colors in whatever slot it wants, so you don't have to interrupt so often to refill a single color.
so i guess the next logical step is too add a z-axis to the bed and make it a 3d printer, you could use a voxelizer algorhithm and combine it with meshy ai
Would it be feasible to have the arm pick a complete strip of legos of one color and put them on the board? So it saves time of returning to the supply for every single pixel. It also saves you time to watch over it for the refills because you only have to refill it when all the colours are empty.
Hey, I really liked this! And I want to build it in real life myself, and I was just wondering if its possible to get some more photos or some 3d design/render if you got that. Ty
Love this video, subscribed to your channel because of it. Next step - 3D building robot, that builds in the Y-axis/Z-axis (up?), you can do it I know you've got the talent! I know many have suggested it already, but felt I should chime in as well.
Why is your GIMP in dutch? I live in the Netherlands but I didn't expect you to have it in dutch. (at 8:20 you can see in the right-top corner the scaling menu is in dutch) edit: Your windows is also dutch, look at the taskbar search box on 10:00.
When downscaling to 32x32 you can choose the most frequent value instead of the center value to avoid the smudged colors. This happens when accidentally choosing colors in beteween two colors since they've most likely had some kind of blending in between in the original image.
Would it be faster if you had a smaller hopper on the brick delivery unit, fill it with one colour, and then deliver a bunch without repeated trips back to the brick supply?
Fantastic! It's be even cooler if it could stage all the tiles for a given row somehow, to avoid the back-and-forth travel. And pop off the 16x16 tiles and replace them. And a pony!
This is very cool, I have a slight love-hate thing going on with how you get pink tiles in the finished 'print' that look like jpeg artifacts (or I suppose more like a gif with a very limited colour palette) but I've made favicons for websites in the past and I know how hard it is to work with so few pixels. I actually think the 'printed' physical Lego versions look even better than the on-screen previews. The whole thing looks very professional, like Lego could sell it as a Lego 3D Printer kit or something.
Thank you for that! Working with few colors and pixels is indeed hard to do. I also tried making the saturation of the colors a higher priority when deciding the closest color, but it unfortunately didn't help with getting rid of the pink and green pixels. Thank you for commenting and leaving your thoughts!

Honestly, the way I go about it, is simply pick a project and start by searching online for the problems you encounter. You should divide it up into smaller problems and solve them one by one. You could start out with a tutorial that gets you done with even 1% of the project and improve from there.
I know it makes sense to check the image first but it’d be fun to not see a preview at all… Type something in, go out for a couple of hours and come back and see what produced. Maybe add some code that crops the image to fill the space but still without seeing it ☺️

When downscaling to 32x32 you can choose the most frequent value instead of the center value to avoid the smudged colors. This happens when accidentally choosing colors in beteween two colors since they've most likely had some kind of blending in between in the original image.
Hmmm yeah that might have been a good way to go about it.

rows, cols = imgSize, imgSize
# Calculate the size of each square
row_size = height // rows
col_size = width // cols
# Create a copy of the original image to apply pixelation
pixelated_image = np.zeros((rows, cols, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
for i in range(0, height, row_size):
for j in range(0, width, col_size):
center_pixel_color = original_image[i + row_size // 2, j + col_size // 2]
pixelated_image[i//row_size, j//col_size] = center_pixel_color
return pixelated_image
