Abstract: An autonomous moving apparatus includes a handheld housing adapted to contain a printing head, an actuating mechanism adapted to move the housing on top of a printing surface, an audio sensor, and at least one non-audio sensor selected from a group comprising a distance sensor, a touch sensor, and an image sensor. Processing circuitry is adapted to execute a code for analyzing an audio signal captured by the audio sensor to detect a voice command; in response to the detection of the voice command, analyzing readings of at least one non-audio sensor to identify a triggering event; in response to the detection of the triggering event, instructing the actuating mechanism such that the housing moves along a printing pattern associated with the triggering event, and instructing the printing head to print media extracted from the readings, selected according to an analysis of the readings.
