Portrait-Painting A.I. Uses Brush and Canvas

Artist Pindar Van Arman has been painting his entire life. But for the last 10 years he's been trying to delegate some of the work. Van Arman's bitPaintr project is a robotic system that paints portraits using customized robotic artificial intelligence. Unlike photo booth computer portraits - which are essentially just printers - the bitPaintr bot uses real brushes, paints and canvas. "It paints using it's own artificial intelligence and my artistic direction," Van Arman says on his intriguing Kickstarter page.
