Research notes

Exhibition of editioned rugs made on a large robotic tufting machine. Eads: the company had been "innovating ways to push the boundaries of what is possible with tufting and textiles." Pairs with the robot-gun patents (CN104562491A, Wilcom EP2077348B1): the hand gun mounted on a machine again.
