An industrial robot as artist? A painter made of metal really can sketch faces. Its artistic genius only emerges if someone takes a seat on the model’s stool positioned in front of the robot: first, its camera records an image of its model; then it whips out its pencil and traces a portrait of the individual on its easel. After around ten minutes have passed, it grabs the work and proudly presents it to its public.

Computer program scores 150 in IQ test, Swedish researchers demonstrate
Intelligence -- what does it really mean? In the 1800s, it meant that you were good at memorizing things, and today intelligence is often measured through IQ tests where the average score for humans is 100. Researchers in Sweden have created a computer program that can score 150.
