The self‑service sketch robot
Guests pick a style, smile at the camera, then watch the sketch robot draw their portrait with a real pen.
ARTI is a self‑service AI robot artist made by Sweet Robo. A guest picks an art style and a scene on the touchscreen, takes a photo or sends one from their phone, and a robotic arm draws a one‑of‑a‑kind portrait card with a real pen in about 1 to 2 minutes. No staff is needed at the machine.
Every line is drawn live on card while the guest watches. Nothing is printed.
Guests choose, pay, take the photo and collect their card on their own.
ARTI looks at the photo and draws what it sees, with its own AI skill, one pen stroke at a time on real card. Drag the slider to draw this card the way ARTI did.
