Question 1

Which robots does SketchSelfie work with?

Accepted Answer

SketchSelfie is designed specifically for Rotrics DexArm sketch robots. The software controls the arm directly over USB. Rotrics hardware is sold separately — contact us if you need guidance on sourcing the robots.

Question 2

How fast does the robot draw a portrait?

Accepted Answer

The fastest portraits complete in around 45 seconds. Average time at events — including AI processing and robot setup — is under 2 minutes per guest. With multiple robots running in parallel you can serve a high volume of guests continuously.

Question 3

Can multiple robots run at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One license supports up to five Rotrics robots running simultaneously from a single PC. Each robot draws its own portrait independently — the software manages the queue automatically.

Question 4

What drawing styles are available?

Accepted Answer

Three modes: single portrait (one person), paired portrait (two people on one sheet), and caricature (stylised with exaggerated features). You can let guests choose their style or lock one mode for the whole event.

Question 5

Do guests get a digital copy of their sketch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every sketch is also delivered as a high-resolution digital file via email — in addition to the physical drawing. Guests can share or print their digital copy whenever they want.

Question 6

How does the photo capture work?

Accepted Answer

SketchSelfie works in hot folder mode, as well as in combination with the iPad app (included with the software). Full SketchSelfie functionality is only available when used together with the iPad app.

Question 7

What is attract mode?

Accepted Answer

When no session is active, the robot automatically enters attract mode — performing looping animations to catch attention across the venue. This ensures the booth always appears active and keeps drawing curious guests even between portraits.

Question 8

What PC specifications are required?

Accepted Answer

Windows 10/11, Intel i7 8th gen+, 16 GB RAM, dedicated RTX GPU (for offline model). For the online model, a dedicated GPU is not required. One PC handles up to five robots — no additional hardware required beyond the robots themselves.

Question 9

Is SketchSelfie related to the Sketchbot® brand?

Accepted Answer

No. Sketchbot® is a registered trademark belonging to Picture Mosaics LLC — we have no affiliation with that company. SketchSelfie is a standalone software product built for Rotrics DexArm drawing robots, which are commonly referred to as sketch bots in the events industry.
