Robot Portrait Artist

This video of a portrait drawing robot comes from Sylvain Calinon, who also helped design the active learning system I posted about yesterday.
“When the robot recognizes a face in its field of view, it first grabs a snapshot of this face and extracts the relevant features and contours characterizing it. The robot then grabs a pen and start drawing the user’s portrait, starting from the rough contours and adding details iteratively.”
If you could set one of these things up at some kind of fair, you’d make a killing. I mean, who wants a silly caricature when you could get your portrait drawn in robotic detail?

Ok, ok, impressive, but somewhat over 230 years ago…
