Aida robot can draw but .. Can you be a creative artist?

From Matthew Stock

WALMOTH, England (Reuters) – Could robots be creative? That's the question a British gallerist would like to answer via Android Ida, which manufacturers say he'll be able to draw faces with the help of a pencil installed in his electronic hand. .

Eden Miller, owner of the art gallery, oversees the final stages of manufacturing Ida in Cornwall.

Miller named the robot Ida in relation to British mathematician and computer scientist Ada Lovlis. Miller said that Ida was "the first real-life robot", adding that he hoped that Ida's performances would be similar to those of her human counterparts.

After giving life to Aida's artificial head by specialists who cultivate bristles in the eyebrows, Miller said, "You will paint and hope to develop a technology that will make it a color."

"But as an artist who will make presentations, Ida will be able to communicate with the public and receive messages – the questions that technology poses today."

Although his artificial head can be placed on a table, Aida's robot movements look very natural.

The cameras in Ida's eyes will be able to visually communicate and follow people with their eyes in the room and the tradition of standing in front of her to open or close her mouth. If one of them is very close, he will turn around and the eyes are extreme in a shock expression.

Robot producer Ida says that her body will be a game and that her movements will be expressive because she will be able to speak and answer questions.

"There is an artificial intelligence that allows the robot to follow faces, recognize facial features and imitate your expressions," said Markus Hold, Design and Production Engineer at Engineering Arts.

The Ida plant uses realistic technology to design its head, which will resemble that of mestizos with long black hair, silicone skin, three-dimensional printer teeth as well as gums.

Ida will be unveiled for the first time at the Oxford Futures Exhibition at the University of Oxford in May and her drawings will be on display in London in November.
