Draw Me Bot Overview
The Draw Me Bot is a one-of-a-kind AI-powered robotic drawing machine that sketches guests in real time. A camera detects the guest, Foto Master's cloud AI generates a sketch, and a robotic arm physically draws the portrait on paper -- creating a tangible, handmade-feeling keepsake that guests can take home.
How It Works
- Guest approaches the Draw Me Bot station
- The camera captures the guest's face and features
- Cloud AI processes the image and generates a sketch in the selected art style
- The robotic arm sketches on paper in front of the guest
- The guest takes home the physical drawing as a unique souvenir
The entire process creates a captivating spectacle -- guests and onlookers are fascinated watching the robot draw in real time.
Key Features
- AI face detection -- Automatically detects and sketches one or multiple people
- Multiple art styles -- Various sketching styles from realistic to artistic
- Branded paper -- Use custom paper with your client's logo or event branding
- Cloud-connected -- Powered by Foto Master Cloud AI for sketch generation
- DMBot software -- Runs on MacOS or iPadOS via the dedicated DMBot application
Setup and Calibration
Setting up the Draw Me Bot involves:
- Physical assembly -- Position the bot, camera, and paper tray
- Software setup -- Install and configure DMBot software
- Calibration -- Align the drawing arm with the paper surface for accurate output
- Paper loading -- Load standard or branded paper stock
Tip: calibration is required before each event, even if the bot was calibrated recently. Transportation can shift the alignment enough to affect drawing quality.
Best For
- Brand activations and trade shows (high wow factor, crowds gather to watch)
- Premium corporate events (unique entertainment)
- Museums and permanent installations
- Retail experiences (draw foot traffic)
