SketchBot Mosaics

SketchBot Mosaics feature guide cover.

Introduction

The latest mesh of robotics and mosaics

Once a portrait is taken or submitted, one of our SketchBots gets to work and draws an incredible sketch of that guest on a 4"×6" takeaway in under 60 seconds. Their portrait is then printed on a sticker for a specific location within the mosaic — all done through some amazing machine learning and AI. Once printed, the guest places their sketch in the correct location on the grid. Over time, a stunning, one-of-a-kind mosaic comes to life.

This happens in real-time, or pre-generated content can be leveraged. A SketchBot Mosaic can have 200 to 7,000+ sketches.

Keynote

To “teach” SketchBot to artistically sketch, six of our artists sketched over 6,000 portraits, which were then fed into SketchBot’s machine-learning system.

Caricatures

More than a portrait

With caricature mode, guests don’t just get a portrait sketch — they transform into their favorite character, profession, or persona! Superheroes, athletes, astronauts, and scientists are just a few of the dozens of mini-bodies that can be chosen or randomly selected.

Choose from our signature lineup of mini-bodies, or create your own one-of-a-kind themes to match your event. Logos and guests’ names can be incorporated into the caricature sketches for even more personalization.

Wall

Wall options

Existing Wall

Any flat, pre-existing wall can be used to display the mosaic with help from REMO strips or VHB adhesive. Perfect for semi-permanent or permanent installations, indoors and out.
