Robots equipped with AI can now draw.

Ameca, the world's 'most advanced' humanoid robot, was equipped with Stable Diffusion and GPT-3, giving it the 'power to imagine drawings.'

Key points:
-Developed in 2021, Ameca is an advanced humanoid robot equipped with microphones, cameras, and facial recognition software.

-Ameca's software uses Stable Diffusion, a deep-learning model for generating images based on text prompts

-Ameca skillfully sketched a cat on its canvas and even signed the drawing

-For interactions, Ameca utilizes both GPT-3 and human telepresence, featuring motorized articulation in its arms, fingers, and neck.

-The company previously showcased Ameca's ability to express human emotions and speak in multiple languages

While Ameca’s drawing was not exactly Picasso-level, this development showcases the fact that AI and robots are becoming significantly more human-like.
