Description

Facial-recognition and line-drawing software for GE’s Barista Bot, a robotic SXSW coffee experience that printed visitors’ portraits in latte foam.

IYOIYO developed the computer-vision component used to capture a customer image and convert it into a drawable portrait for the robot’s coffee-printing workflow.
