Didn't they get their robots from Italy?
satvikpendem•7h ago
There are lots of videos online of this, pretty cool to see, and also lots of artists apparently complaining why they don't use humans, not understanding that every piece is hand finished, so they are hiring more artists than ever before.

Also, the article is talking about Sai Baba but the images are of Sathya Sai Baba, they are two different people who lived a century apart.

ludicrousdispla•7h ago
This opens up a lot more possibilities for artists than it takes away.

Yeah, possibilities to try yourself in other areas. For example, in the aria of frying burgers in a fast food restaurant

Heh! I recognized the robots as being originally made by Kuka, because those were the ones used at my last job.

The writer seems to have gotten his "Sai Baba"s mixed up. The statue seems to be of the more modern one ( Sathya Sai Baba, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya_Sai_Baba ) who passed away in 2011, and not the OG Shirdi Sai Baba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_Baba_of_Shirdi

Those look like fun toys - must have been fun getting that going.

How much does a robot-assisted sculpture cost versus an unassisted sculpture?
ks2048•1h ago
It says: Robotic process (with manual finishing), Total time: 77 days, Cost: €64k. Manual process (entirely by hand): Total time: 132 days, Cost: €90k. Note: Time and cost figures are estimates. Cost estimates exclude the cost of the marble.
