A neat parlor trick, but it has no artistic ability, and creating it is only a mean feat for someone who has never taken a basic imaging course.]]>Feb 15th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/Feb 15th 2010 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/aikon-2-robot-sketches-the-human-face-uses-its-talent-to-meet-g/

Napoleon Dynamite: Well, nobody's going to go out with *me*!
Pedro: Have you asked anybody yet?
Napoleon Dynamite: No, but who would? I don't even have any good skills.
Pedro: What do you mean?
Napoleon Dynamite: You know, like nunchuk skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
Pedro: Aren't you pretty good at drawing, like animals and warriors and stuff?
Napoleon Dynamite: Yes... probably the best that I know of.
Pedro: Just draw a picture of the girl you want to take out... and give it to her for like a gift or something.
Napoleon Dynamite: That's a pretty good idea.
