World’s most advanced humanoid robot called ‘Ameca’ now has learned to draw using its hands, after equipping generative AI technology.
Robots are expanding at a faster pace, striving to be indistinguishable from humans. And in the track, humanoid robots have been taking huge steps in recent years, with human-emotion imitation and now drawing capabilities. The recent leap of AI has played a major role here with these robots to unfold new parameters for the robots.
The firm that designs and manufactures this ‘Ameca’ – advanced humanoid robot, named “Engineered Arts”, has just made their robot to imagine drawings.
Ameca robot drawing a Cat
Ameca is one of the frontiers of robotic technology and innovation of the world, with GPT-powered brain and can imitate multiple face reactions too. Ameca is built on a software called ‘tritium’, refined over 12 years and is designed to be operatable remotely, can understand any coding language, and interacts good with people, as what it is made for.
Engineered Arts upgraded Ameca by tutoring them GPT-4 in April 2023 and currently an AI image generator platform gets tied into Ameca’s brain. Researchers of Engineered Arts have deployed Stable Diffusion, a text-to-image AI generator, in Ameca for the ability to imagine drawings.
To brief it about Stable Diffusion – It is a deep learning AI image generating model launched last year, primarily for creating detailed images from text description inputs.
Researchers of the firm wanted Ameca draw fast and make it entertaining to watch, which was their main focus. However, the real challenge was in converting images to vectors or lines (outlines), for easing the drawing, as likely for a child.
The firm had released a video showing Ameca drawing a cat, and in fact signing at the bottom corner, as an artist.
In the Video
“I generate my drawing image through the open-source neural network project Stable Diffusion. From there, trajectories of the drawing are available, and then I skeletonize the image and vectorize it. After that, I plan and execute the trajectory to draw the image on my canvas,” explains Ameca, on being asked how do it generate these drawings.
Then the robot starts drawing a cat and at the same time speaks about cats and their interaction with humans. Ameca even seems confident about her work, says “If you don’t like my art, you probably just don’t understand art.”

Roboti ya binadamu ya hali ya juu zaidi ulimwenguni inayoitwa "Ameca" sasa imejifunza kuchora kwa kutumia mikono yake, baada ya kuandaa teknolojia ya AI ya kizazi. Roboti zinaenea kwa kasi zaidi, zikijitahidi kuwa zisizoweza kutofautishwa na wanadamu. Katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, roboti za kibinadamu zimekuwa zikifanya maendeleo makubwa, na sasa zina uwezo wa kuiga hisia za binadamu na kuchora. Uwezo wa AI wa hivi karibuni umekuwa na jukumu kubwa katika kuunda roboti mpya. Kampuni ambayo inaunda na kutengeneza roboti hii ya hali ya juu ya "Ameca", inayoitwa "Engineered Arts", imefanya tu roboti yao kufikiria michoro. Ameca ni moja ya mipaka ya teknolojia ya roboti na uvumbuzi wa ulimwengu, na ubongo wa GPT unaoweza kuiga athari nyingi za uso pia. Ameca ni programu ya Tritium, iliyoundwa kwa miaka 12 na ina uwezo wa kuendesha programu kwa mbali, inaelewa lugha yoyote ya programu na ina uhusiano mzuri na watu. "Mwaka wa 2023, kampuni ya ""Engineering Arts"" iliboresha Ameca kwa kuwafundisha GPT-4 na kwa sasa, jukwaa la jenereta ya picha ya AI limeunganishwa na ubongo wa Ameca." Watafiti wa Sanaa ya Uhandisi wametumia Stable Diffusion, jenereta ya AI ya maandishi-kwa-picha, katika Ameca kwa uwezo wa kufikiria michoro. Stable Diffusion ni mfano wa kina wa kujifunza AI ya kutengeneza picha iliyozinduliwa mwaka jana, haswa kwa ajili ya kuunda picha za kina kutoka kwa maelezo ya maandishi. Watafiti wa kampuni hiyo walitaka Ameca kuchora haraka na kuifanya iwe ya kufurahisha kutazama, ambayo ilikuwa lengo lao kuu. Hata hivyo, changamoto ya kweli ilikuwa katika kubadilisha picha kwa vectors au mistari (mipangilio), kwa ajili ya kurahisisha kuchora, kama uwezekano kwa mtoto. Kampuni hiyo ilitoa video inayoonyesha Amica akichora paka, na kwa kweli kusaini katika kona ya chini, kama msanii. Katika Video <unk>Ninaunda picha yangu ya kuchora kupitia mradi wa mtandao wa neva wa chanzo wazi Stable Diffusion. Kutoka hapo, trajectories ya mchoro zinapatikana, na kisha mimi skeletonize picha na vectorize yake. Baada ya hapo, mimi kupanga na kutekeleza trajectory kuchora picha juu ya canvas yangu, <unk> anaelezea Ameca, juu ya kuulizwa jinsi gani ni kuzalisha michoro hii. Kisha roboti huanza kuchora paka na wakati huohuo huzungumza juu ya paka na mwingiliano wao na wanadamu. Ameca hata anaonekana kuwa na uhakika juu ya kazi yake, anasema <unk>Kama hupendi sanaa yangu, labda huelewi sanaa.<unk> Tazama video kamili hapa.
