Abstract
A Robotic Photo booth is described to facilitate automated photography vending machine operating in commercial and public settings, such as venues, event and family centers, shopping malls. The Robotic Photo booth uses sensor data to analyze the environment in real time, find human subjects, physically aim a photographic camera, decide the timing of the shot and produce visual art that people consider desirable. The behavior of the Robotic Photo booth is controlled by the software running on a Control Unit, which allows a completely autonomous, hands-free, zero-instruction workflow to attract and photograph human subjects of all backgrounds, age groups and ability levels. As such, it is a significant improvement over existing solutions (traditional photo booths) that require explicit human input (e.g. using a touch screen, physically moving the booth) to accomplish the same goal.
