Tiny robot sketches human

Ninja January 10th, 2008

Ninja says

Created by robotic researcher Sylvain Calinon, the robot recognizes when there’s a face in its field of view, then snaps a digital photo and extracts the major characteristics of their visage. Once that’s done, the robot turns itself into an X/Y plotter, picking up an old-fashioned quill pen and gradually filling in the details of a portrait.

    Reminds me of that scene in the iRobot* movie where the robot draws the picture of its dream. Nice to see robots with a "creative" side.

    *Personally i prefered the book of course, particularly because the movie was nothing like the book ;)

    Hi Jeff,

    I haven't seen iRobot. Robots creative? One can only hope.

    Then again, I'd hate to be out of a job. ~__^
