The launch of Andy - the ArtBot

Meitu Inc. has managed to increase its proficiency in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and designed its first ever A.I. painting robot - Andy, the ArtBot.

What makes Andy so unique?

Unlike other photo-editing functions, which add effects to original photos, Andy breaks up and reconstructs photos and then turns them into paintings within 5 seconds. Its segmentation technique is so humanized that it recognizes humans in photos and is capable to take them out from the backgrounds behind them and turn into a brand new painting.

Indisputably, Andy marks the beginning of A.I. in the art industry. As Andy continues to learn, more painting styles created through A.I. will be developed. Andy may not be comparable to any of the great painters like Picasso, Van Gogh, etc., but it will certainly lead a different art trend for the future.
