A British arts engineering company says it has created the world's first AI robot that can draw people by using a microchip in her eye. Using Artificial Intelligence, the robot, called Ai-Da, can sketch subjects who pose for her by using a pencil placed in her robotic arm. Ai-Da is coordinated through algorithms which process human features to enable her to draw and paint ultra realistic portraits of her subjects. Designer Aidan Meller, who is overseeing the final stages of her construction at Cornish robotics company Engineered Arts hopes that she will begin to talk'soon'.
