This is the vision of RoadPrintz, a Cleveland startup that’s spent seven years developing robotic road sign painting technology. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Newman, who began work on the idea while still teaching electrical engineering at CWRU. “But we’re finally rolling.”RoadPrintz co-founder Wyatt Newman, a Case Western University professor emeritas, explains the technology behind the company's robotic street painting system. Together, they led the work to build a system they believe could replace the labor-intensive method of painting road signs with robotic precision. The RoadPrintz system is preloaded with about 80 symbols and numbers that follow the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices guidelines.
