'Algorithm Queen': Robot artist Ai-Da creates an portrait of Elizabeth II to mark Platinum Jubilee

A robot artist has created an eerie new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, to mark the monarch's Platinum Jubilee. Entitled'Algorithm Queen', the portrait was painted by Ai-Da, the humanoid robot artist created by gallery director Aidan Meller in 2019. Ai-Da uses cameras in her eyes and computer algorithms to process human features, and transform what she'sees' into co-ordinates. She then uses these coordinates to calculate a virtual path for her robotic arm, as it draws and paints onto canvas to create pieces of art. This is the first time in history a humanoid robot has painted a member of the Royal Family.
