This machine, known as <strong>Pixelbot 3000<\/strong>, is capable of creating stunning works of art.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pixelbot 3000 is inspiration by Bricasso<\/h2>\n\n<p>The inspiration for the <strong>Pixelbot<\/strong> came from another LEGO printer called Bricasso, created by Jason Allemann eight years ago. Although Bricasso was technically impressive, it required a complicated process that involved designing a mosaic, printing it and then scanning it. In contrast, the YouTube channel Creative Mindstorms has simplified this process by using custom code and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<div class=\" align\"><div id=\"wpfp_2670\" data-item=\"{&quot;sources&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=ec_BtS97IR8&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;,&quot;sources_fvqs&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=ec_BtS97IR8&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;}]}],&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3449&quot;,&quot;splash&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/ec_BtS97IR8\\\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto&quot;}\" class=\"freedomplayer flowplayer no-brand is-splash is-paused skin-custom no-svg fp-full fp-outlined is-youtube is-youtube-standard\" data-fvsticky=\"true\" data-button-repeat=\"1\" data-button-rewind=\"1\" data-fv-embed=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/youtuber-creates-pixelbot-3000-printer-lego\/fvp-2670\/\" style=\"position:relative; max-width: 95%; max-height: 90%; \" data-ratio=\"0.5625\" data-qsel=\"1080p,720p,480p,360p\" data-qlabels=\"1080p,720p,480p,360p\" data-fv_stats_data=\"{&quot;player_id&quot;:&quot;2670&quot;,&quot;post_id&quot;:166168}\" data-engine=\"fvyoutube\" data-speedb=\"1\">\n\t<div class=\"fp-ratio\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%\"><\/div>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%\" class=\"fp-splash\" alt=\"video\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ec_BtS97IR8\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto\" \/>\n\t<div class=\"fp-ui\" style=\"position:absolute\"><noscript>Please enable JavaScript<\/noscript><div class=\"fp-play fp-visible\"><svg class=\"fp-play-rounded-outline\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 99.844 99.8434\"><defs><style>.fp-color-play{opacity:0.65;}.controlbutton{fill:#fff;}<\/style><\/defs><title>play-rounded-outline<\/title><path class=\"fp-color-play\" d=\"M49.9217-.078a50,50,0,1,0,50,50A50.0564,50.0564,0,0,0,49.9217-.078Z\"\/><path class=\"controlbutton\" d=\"M41.0359,71.19a5.0492,5.0492,0,0,1-2.5575-.6673c-1.8031-1.041-2.7958-3.1248-2.7958-5.8664V35.1887c0-2.7429.9933-4.8272,2.797-5.8676,1.8025-1.0422,4.1034-.86,6.48.5143L70.4782,44.5672c2.3751,1.3711,3.6826,3.2725,3.6832,5.3545s-1.3076,3.9845-3.6832,5.3562L44.9592,70.0114A7.9384,7.9384,0,0,1,41.0359,71.19Zm.0065-40.123a2.6794,2.6794,0,0,0-1.3582.3413c-1.0263.5926-1.5912,1.9349-1.5912,3.78V64.6563c0,1.8449.5649,3.1866,1.5906,3.7791,1.0281.5932,2.4733.4108,4.07-.512L69.273,53.1906c1.5983-.9227,2.478-2.0838,2.478-3.2689s-.88-2.3445-2.478-3.2666L43.754,31.9227A5.5685,5.5685,0,0,0,41.0423,31.0671Z\" filter=\"url(#f1)\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fp-preload\"><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='fvp-share-bar'><div><label><a class=\"embed-code-toggle\" href=\"#\"><strong>Embed<\/strong><\/a><\/label><\/div><div class=\"embed-code\"><label>Copy and paste this HTML code into your webpage to embed.<\/label><textarea><\/textarea><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This is how this smart printer works. Source: Creative Mindstorms<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An easy-to-use printer<\/h2>\n\n<p>With <strong>Pixelbot 3000<\/strong>, users only need to enter the artwork they wish to create. This command is sent to <strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/openai-chat-gpt-4o-latest-version-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"155576\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OpenAI&#8217;<\/a>s DALL-E 3<\/strong> model, which generates a simple 1024 x 1024 pixel animated image.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is important to mention that the printer is designed to handle smaller mosaics (32 x 32 LEGO bricks). Instead of reducing the AI-generated image, the Pixelbot 3000 code divides it into a 32 x 32 grid and displays the color of the center pixel in each square, producing <strong>high-contrast, better-looking thumbnail images<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curiosities of the &#8220;LEGO Printer&#8221;.<\/h2>\n\n<p>Despite its capabilities, the use of LEGO as an artistic medium has limitations. Plastic parts are available in only 70 different colors and <strong>the Pixelbot 3000 uses only 15 of them<\/strong>. The AI-generated thumbnail image goes through final processing to find the best color combination for each pixel, corresponding to the 1 x 1 LEGO bricks used to assemble the final mosaic.<\/p>\n\n<p>Designing, building and programming the Pixelbot 3000 requires as much effort as assembling a LEGO puzzle, which can have more than 11,000 pieces. However, watching the Pixelbot 3000 in action for 15 minutes can be a relaxing and fascinating experience, showing how ideas become reality.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/techlade.vn\/pixelbot-3000-bien-y-tuong-ai-thanh-kiet-tac-tranh-ghep-lego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">techlade<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pixelbot 3000 can convert a 1024 x 1024 pixel AI-generated image into a 32 x 32 grid LEGO tile, using only 15 colors of bricks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8403,"featured_media":166171,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13034,13078],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-166168","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-curiosities","categoria_noticias-innovation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/166168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/166168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=166168"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=166168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
