APM

CTG Japan exhibited APM (Automatic Painting Machine) No.1, which was aimed at realising automatic painting of tableaux, together with some prints of computer graphics.

APM (Automatic Painting Machine) No.1 had a spray gun with nozzles for four colour acrylic paints (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), mounted on an arm which moved in horizontal and vertical directions over a canvas (181.8 × 227.3cm) set in the vertical position.

The mechanism was similar to an X-Y plotter and controlled by its own logic unit. Source
