Some psychiatrists will tell you to keep a pad and pencil next to your bed, and write down as much as you can remember of your dreams the moment you awake. By doing so, they seek to get an idea of what’s really going on in your mind. Now there’s a better way, thanks to the wonders of modern robotics. Jump into a bed hooked up to an IRB 120, and 80 motion, sound and temperature sensors will gather information which the little robot will translate into a unique and very personal painting. I’m not certain what the little “explosions” on this woman’s canvas represent, but 8 in one night would have to be some kind of a record.
