A British-built robot that uses cameras and a robotic arm to create abstract art has been released after Egyptian authorities detained it at customs.
Ai-Da, named for the mathematician Ada Lovelace, was seized by border agents last week who feared her robotics may have been hiding covert spy tools.
Officials held the robot for 10 days, imperilling plans to show her work at the Great Pyramid of Giza on Thursday.
- tut, tut…artists will do anything for a bit of publicity. Even robot artists!
