After seven decades on the throne, Queen Elizabeth might have thought she had seen it all – until a robot offered to paint her portrait. 

Ai-Da Robot is an artificial intelligence robot that creates drawings, paintings and sculptures. Through cameras and computer memory, she is able to leverage a variety of unique algorithms to make an artistic representation of abstract images. Then, Ai-Da's robotic arm turns its digital formations into physical drawings and paintings.

The robot's portrait, Algorithmic Queen, was designed to reflect the different aspects of technological change that have taken place during Queen Elizabeth's 70-year reign.
