An attachment for a writing instrument, comprising a support member comprising a distal end (D) and a proximal end (P), wherein an attachment axis (A) is defined between the distal end and the proximal end, wherein the support member is configured to be attached to a writing instrument, an inertial measurement unit, wherein the inertial measurement unit is configured to measure a movement of the attachment axis (A) between a first and a second position of the attachment axis, a momentum wheel assembly, wherein the momentum wheel assembly comprises a first rotatable member coupled to a first motor, wherein the first motor is configured to apply a variable torque to the first rotatable member, and a control unit configured to actuate the first motor based on the movement of the attachment axis measured by the inertial measurement unit.

Writing instrument

A writing instrument comprising: an elongate body portion with distal and proximal ends defining a principal axis of the writing instrument; an electronically actuated nib manipulator with an end portion comprising a nib, attached to the proximal end to move the end portion within a spatial domain defined along first and second axes of a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the principal axis, and along a third axis that is an extension of the principal axis; an inertial measurement unit that measures the position of the principal axis relative to a writing surface; and an electronic control unit coupled to the inertial measurement unit and nib manipulator to obtain segment formation commands, and receive the position of the principal axis from the inertial measurement unit. The electronic control unit electronically actuates the nib manipulator so that the end portion moves within the spatial domain to scribe predefined characters.
