A Humanoid Robot Drawing Human Portraits

[Bastiest]

Heh, funny how that robot is working like a printer.

[catwoman409]

From the quality of the picture I'm guessing this was NOT made in china

[furyberserk]

Damn, that person must be ugly!!! :D

Unless he accidentally lossy compressed the picture he took and drew the pixels incorrectly too! :D

[METALIST1989]

Sarah Connor has no chance

[DutschiieGirl]

O.O...

just..amazing..

I am a professional artist. i think this is a insult to my profession! i spent years learning it. and to see a glorified photocopier doing what all photocopiers do, and calling it art is a insult to all artists!

[ARMOROID5000]

Yes I can see your way of viewing this. The insult is to the ability to create the image.

But I do think there is art here in the form of the creation of such an incredible automaton. That took real creative genius to plan and build this.

Is that the touch of the master when the object of his creation works or is flawless?

I think the robot itself is a beautiful piece of creation art.

[franktastikart]

it's just a photocopier! and nothing more! do you think a photocopier is a beautiful piece of creation art. but i will admit it is different from a regular photocopier. but that is all it is just a photocopier.

@franktastikart

chill out.

[Cradle2Venus]

noone called it art, it's called drawing. even an artist can understand that not all drawing is art.

Also, this is a portrait. It has nothing to do with impression, emotion, statements, social significance or any of the many other facets of fascination that separate doodling from real art.

Take it personal already :P

[CR84]

I guess its symbolic. forget it.

[CR84]

Înteresting, but isn't this just a made to look humanoid Printer with a camera on it ?

[babylonangelsushi]

lol freaking little robot he makes it look so easy

[ErichoTTA]

yeah!

[wskdg]

cool!wonderful!best!

[LegendaryAdrenaline]

lmao i thought it was huge and far away, until he put his hand near it. tricky!

[GuitarGuy0123]

that wasnt very impressive. they just programed the robot to make certain arm movement in a certain order that would draw that same thing every time

[skaterboy991]

You try building one.

[ddpxl]

No they didnt.

You dont seem to know that there is not much difference between telling an arm to make a movement in a certain order or draw a webcam capture with treshhold. also you could check out the channel of sylvaincalinon to see Salvador DaBot, the portraitist robot.

[spreadingcolor]

p.s. Check out my videos. I just posted a video of some of my portraits.

[spreadingcolor]

I'm an artist and someone who's interesting in robotics. Impressive for a machine. The arm is a big difference from a printer!

Anything a machine can do is an extension of human creativity and vision.

[andreyjardim]

It's basicly a cam as input, a photo converter as middle man and a plotter as output...

[mrh112]

it would be cool if you gave it a pencil and a bigger sheet of paper, then it would be able to add texture detail and different shades of colour on a bigger scale.

[ShaneBales]

I have one of these that sits on my desk. It's called a laser jet Printer.

[gogators432]

oh yeah???? but yours doesnt have arms!

[ShaneBales]

Yes it does in fact :P

[trasher84]

[pi4zinhu]

[Reysol9]
