Turn passing exhibition visitors into engaged conversations with live, AI-powered portraits drawn by robotic arms in approximately 60 seconds.
ROBO Sketch is a fully managed robotic portrait experience for trade shows, conferences, corporate events and brand activations across the UK and Europe. Guests watch their personalised artwork being created live, then leave with a physical branded keepsake and the option to receive a digital version.
A European exhibition attraction that draws a crowd
The moving robotic arms naturally attract attention from across an exhibition hall. As each portrait is drawn line by line, surrounding visitors stop to watch, film and take part. This creates valuable dwell time around your stand and gives your team a natural opportunity to begin conversations with genuinely engaged attendees.
- Live portrait sketches and caricature-style artwork
- Personalised physical keepsakes produced at the event
- Custom company branding, campaign messages and event artwork
- QR-code photo upload or photographs captured by our team
- Optional instant digital artwork delivery
- Professional staffing and guest-flow management
One to four robotic sketch arms
ROBO Sketch can attend with between one and four robotic arms. The right configuration is planned around your expected visitor numbers, operating time, chosen artwork style and available stand space. Multiple arms increase capacity while also creating a stronger visual feature for high-footfall exhibitions and multi-day activations.
Built around your brand
Every guest can leave carrying your branding. Portrait paper can feature your logo, campaign message, event artwork or a bespoke design created for the activation. We can supply an artwork template for your design team or produce a simple branded layout in-house.
Final print artwork should be approved at least two weeks before the event so that customised stock can be produced and checked in advance.
A fully managed international service
Our team manages pre-event planning, travel, setup, operation, guest assistance and removal. We bring the robotic arms, iPad photo system, laptop, printing materials and agreed branded stock. The venue normally needs to provide a suitable table or platform and access to a standard power socket. Space requirements are flexible and the layout is agreed around the number of arms and the available stand area.
Proven at a major European exhibition
At Sibos in Frankfurt, ROBO Sketch operated two robotic arms on the SunTec stand, producing personalised branded artwork while our team managed the setup and live guest experience. The activation created a visible focal point and gave delegates a memorable reason to visit and remain at the stand.
