Turtle bots, Gestalt principles, and emergent art
Arduino Team — September 5th, 2025 In the worlds of programming and robotics, turtles are entities — either virtual or physical robots— that follow commands to move around a 2D plane. Those are usually very simple commands, such as “move forward 10 units” or “rotate 90 degrees clockwise,” and they help people learn some programming fundamentals (like Logo in the ’80s!) in an intuitive way. But a lot of complexity can evolve out of simple building...
