Robot Photography

|

Huh… I didn't know there was any significant AI/robotic work here in St. Louis… Wash U seems to be better known for its medical school (and perhaps bio and law) than its computer science department. Evidently researchers here have developed a robot which can wander around and take photographs unassisted. Sounds like it would be a very interesting project to work on. The robot even knows (and uses) the Rule of Thirds.
