DMBot Overview

DMBot is a live robotic drawing experience that turns guest photos into physical pen-and-paper portraits -- drawn by a robot right in front of the audience. Guests take a photo, choose their art style, and watch as the robotic arm sketches their portrait line by line on real paper. When it's done, they take the drawing home as a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

It's part photo booth, part live performance, and it consistently draws crowds at every event.

The Guest Experience

1. Guest poses for a photo via the FMX iPad app or Selfie Wi-Fi (scan a QR code to upload from their own phone)
2. They choose their art style -- from realistic portraits to playful caricatures to multi-panel comics
3. The robot starts drawing -- guests and onlookers watch the portrait come to life on paper
4. Guest takes home their drawing -- a physical, handmade-feeling souvenir
5. Optional: The drawing can be animated into a short AI video and shared digitally

The live drawing performance is the real magic. People gather around to watch, creating a crowd-drawing spectacle that no traditional photo booth can match.

Four AI Models

Donatello Model Highlights

The Donatello model is the newest and most versatile, offering three operating modes:

Comics Mode

A breakthrough feature exclusive to the Donatello model. The robot draws a multi-panel A4 comic strip starring the guest:

• Guest names appear in the comic panels
• Custom plot selection -- guests choose themes or superpowers via a built-in survey

• Branded content integration for corporate events
• Paper size: A4 (required for comics layout)
• Processing time: 5-9 minutes for a complete comic

Comics mode transforms the Draw Me Bot from a portrait machine into a personalized storytelling experience.

Drawing Details

Both styles can be fine-tuned:

• Detailed hair -- Toggle detailed hair rendering for finer or simpler hair lines
• Detailed beard -- Toggle detailed beard rendering for subjects with facial hair

Paper Sizes

Size	Best For
4x6	Standard events, compact keepsake
6x8	Larger, more detailed portraits
A4	Comics mode, premium large-format drawings

You can also use branded paper with your client's logo pre-printed, making each drawing a branded takeaway.

Selfie Wi-Fi Integration

The Draw Me Bot integrates with Selfie Wi-Fi for queueless operation:

1. Display a QR code at the venue
2. Guests scan and upload a selfie from their own phone (no waiting in line)
3. Photos sync to Foto Master Cloud
4. Draw Me Bot receives the photos and draws them automatically

This eliminates the need for an iPad capture station and lets guests submit from anywhere at the venue.

Set up: Enable both Draw Me Bot and Selfie Wi-Fi under the same event in Foto Master Cloud, select AI Draw Me as the Selfie Wi-Fi service, and generate the QR code.

AI Video for Drawings

Static drawings can be transformed into short animated video clips using AI Image-to-Video:

• Supported AI video models: Seedance, Sora, Veo 3
• Drawings come alive with subtle motion and camera effects
• Videos are shared via QR code, email, or SMS
• Creates additional shareable content from every drawing

Multi-Robot Support

Run multiple Draw Me Bots simultaneously from a single Mac. While one robot draws, the next guest's photo is already being processed.

For fully unattended operation, add an auto paper replacement robot that automatically swaps completed drawings for fresh paper -- enabling continuous operation with a 220-sheet paper magazine.
