Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Robot artist Ai-Da released by Egyptian border guards WWW.BBC.COM Authorities, who held the robot for 10 days, feared that it may have been hiding covert spy tools. Quote A British-built robot that uses cameras and a robotic arm to create abstract art has been released after Egyptian authorities detained it at customs. Ai-Da, named for the mathematician Ada Lovelace, was seized by border agents last week who feared her robotics may have been hiding covert spy tools. Officials held the robot for 10 days, imperilling plans to show her work at the Great Pyramid of Giza on Thursday. The UK's Embassy in Cairo told the BBC that it is "glad" the case is resolved.
