What Is RoboSketchAI?

RoboSketchAI is BoothCo's AI-powered robotic portrait experience. A professional camera captures your guest's photo, our artificial intelligence processes it into a chosen art style, and a precision robotic arm physically draws their unique portrait on paper — live, right in front of them.

Every portrait takes under 4 minutes to complete. Every single one is completely unique. And every guest walks away with a genuine piece of personalised artwork they'll actually want to keep.

Unlike a standard photo booth that prints a photo and gets tucked into a pocket (or a bin), a RoboSketchAI portrait is something guests frame, photograph, share on social media, and talk about for weeks after your event. It's not just entertainment — it's a keepsake with real emotional value.

The experience is mesmerising to watch. Guests gather around as the robotic arm works, drawing precise lines and curves that gradually reveal a face. It creates a natural crowd, generates conversation, and keeps people engaged far longer than any traditional activation.

How Does RoboSketchAI Work?

A robotic arm uses a pen to draw portraits on rectangular cards arranged on a white work surface.

Choose Your Style

Guests select their preferred art style from a touchscreen display. Options include classic pencil sketch, bold ink portrait, vibrant pop art, editorial fashion illustration, and more.

Strike a Pose

A professional camera captures the guest's portrait. Our on-site host guides them into the perfect pose and ensures great lighting. The photo is taken in seconds.

Watch the Magic

The AI processes the photo into the chosen art style, and the robotic arm begins drawing the portrait on paper. Guests watch every line appear in real time — truly mesmerising.

Take Home Your Artwork

Once complete (under 4 minutes), the guest receives their one-of-a-kind portrait on premium branded paper plus a digital version via QR code for instant sharing.

Choose Your Art Style

RoboSketchAI offers multiple art styles, each creating a distinctly different look and feel. Choose one style for your event, or let guests pick their favourite.

Bold Ink Portrait

High-contrast ink-style portraits with confident, expressive lines. Creates a striking, modern look that photographs beautifully for social media sharing.

Pop Art

Vibrant, colour-infused portraits inspired by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Eye-catching and fun — perfect for brand activations targeting younger audiences.

Fashion Illustration

Editorial-style fashion sketches that transform guests into magazine-worthy illustrations. Ideal for fashion events, beauty brands, galas, and award ceremonies.

Continuous Line

A single unbroken line creates the entire portrait. Minimalist, artistic, and deeply impressive. A favourite for design and creative industry events.

Caricature Style

Playful, exaggerated portraits that capture personality and humour. Great for team events, Christmas parties, and less formal corporate celebrations.

Perfect For Every Corporate Event

Trade Shows & Exhibitions

RoboSketchAI is a trade show powerhouse. The mesmerising drawing process creates a natural crowd around your stand, and guests willingly share their contact details while they wait for their portrait. We've seen clients capture 60+ qualified leads per hour. The physical portrait means your brand stays on their desk long after the show ends.

Brand Activations

For experiential marketing, RoboSketchAI delivers something no other activation can — a genuinely unique, personalised physical keepsake that guests treasure. Custom branded paper, frames, and digital delivery ensure your brand is woven into every touchpoint. Social sharing is natural because guests are genuinely proud of their portrait.

Conferences & Summits

Add genuine value to your conference. Position RoboSketchAI in the networking area, sponsor lounge, or registration zone. It creates conversation between attendees, gives them something memorable, and provides a natural ice-breaker. Works exceptionally well alongside a corporate headshot station.

Award Ceremonies & Galas

When your guests are dressed to impress, RoboSketchAI captures them at their best. The fashion illustration and ink portrait styles are particularly stunning for black-tie events. Guests receive an elegant piece of art that commemorates the evening — far more meaningful than a standard photo printout.

Team Building & Internal Events

Surprise your team with something they've never experienced. RoboSketchAI creates genuine delight — watching a robot draw your portrait is unforgettable. Works brilliantly at company milestones, Christmas parties, summer events, and away days.
