can we call it HP-3 inkjet for short ?]]>Dec 29th 2007 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/The robot's hoping to be free one day and then build thousands of copies of itself to kill us all... We're doomed!!!

but instead of just getting photoshop to print it off, you wait 10 hours for a robotic arm to do it.

i for one, think these overloads are wankers]]>Dec 29th 2007 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/Dec 29th 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/29/robotic-artist-does-portraits-hoping-to-get-into-nudes/
This robot is actually turning a bitmap image into a single color vector drawing. Vectors being made of lines, can be drawn with a pen. A bitmap can't, really. These days we've seen a few free services that can automatically convert bitmaps to vectors with some success, so more or less its a very novel implementation of it. Actually I was a bit disappointed at the disjointed vocals in the bot. It is so easy to get fairly smooth speech synthesis and many off the shelf software packages that support complex speech recognition, and this is the best these engineers could do? "open", "close", "yes", and "no?"
