As if the lives of starving artists weren't hard enough, the Monets and Manets of tomorrow may now face competition from an entirely new field of sober, non-tortured prodigies: robots. With the help of an Arduino processor, the Drawbot uses a steppe motor-powered stylus to sketch out a series of patterns on a piece of paper. Eventually, its random doodles coalesce to form a unique picture, ...

Before most of us learned to use Photoshop, we fooled around with MS Paint or similar primitive drawing programs. We moved on to bigger and snazzier ones because they could do more for us, and we were able to produce more "sophisticated" graphics. How could the paint bucket tool ever create a dynamic image?

The Self-Portrait Machine, which was designed by Jen Hui Liao, takes your picture and then guides your hand across ...

Leaps and bounds have been made with Sylvain Calinon's robotic portrait artist since we first caught a glimpse of this amazing AI being -- and no, we're not just referring to the stylish beret and mustache. Now dubbed "Salvador DaBot", the portraitist has developed far more advanced conversation skills, along with a voice that sounds a lot less like Steven Hawking. We kinda miss that feather pen ...
