Ai-Da: The world’s first A.I. robot artist

Follow the creation Ai-Da, the world’s first A.I. robot artist, from the factory floor to her very own studio as the gears of her career continue to turn.

When the world’s first A.I. β€œrobot artist” was announced in 2019, In the Studio was given exclusive access to the design and making of Ai-Da, a humanoid robot capable of drawing people from real life, and named after Ada Lovelace, the first female computer programmer in the world. As an exhibit of Ai-Da’s artwork is shown at the UK’s Design Museum, and she takes up her first artist residency, we hear how the team used A.I. processes and algorithms, cameras in her eyes and a pen in her robotic hand, to allow Ai-Da to draw from sight. Karl Bos talks to the creative visionary behind the project, Gallery Director Aidan Meller, along with the young engineers tasked with making her drawing arm and the team producing her head, face and body.
