Computer Numerical control. This paper deals with the
design, implementation and analysis of a low cost drawing
robot for educational purposes. [6]The paper presents an
approach to design user friendly and fluid movements of a

CNC machine to perform writing tasks.[7]The Automatic
Writing Machine is a device which helps the physically
handicapped people to write, as they face difficulty in
physical writing on paper. [8] Nowadays more and more
individuals are turning to robots to do their work, because
robots are more versatile, accurate, and reliable and also
reduce human efforts. Aim of our project is to develop a
writing machine which helps the students or office
workers to write. [8] Parallel Manipulator is one of the
