Artistic AI Robots

XORBIS Showcased the 'Sketcher X' Interactive Drawing Robot at CES 2023

— January 13, 2023 — Art & Design
XORBIS, a South Korean design and innovation lab, showcased the 'Sketcher X,' a humanoid robotic arm with artistic capabilities, at CES 2023. The Sketcher X is powered by an advanced artificial intelligence that can have a conversation with a human while drawing a physical image, or a sketch, of a person's face. The Sketcher X draws an image that, according to XORBIS, "reinterprets the conversation and reflects the mood on the image," meaning this is not a simple instruction-based AI artist.

The Sketcher X has viable use cases in education, entertainment, and even medical fields such as psychotherapy. While the robot could be quite effective in each of these industries, XORBIS states: "The main focus is to have a smooth conversation with users through natural language to create an experience." This shows that XORBIS is taking a very human approach to its robot, while still targeting technological advancement across various industries.
