SketchActivities
Software for an artist robot. For photo booth companies looking for something guests haven't seen at the last three events.
One Robot, Twelve Event Mechanics
Twelve mechanics on one machine,
and no charge per guest.
and no charge per guest.
SketchActivities turns a drawing robot into an event platform. A guest sends a photo, types an idea, or answers a few questions. The software generates the artwork and the robot draws it — or writes it, in handwriting, in five fonts.
Portraits are one mode of twelve. There are also badges with a conference schedule on the back, wishes written by hand for a wish wall, fortunes and horoscopes, colouring pages for family days, and a collaborative mosaic the whole room assembles piece by piece.
Guests interact through a simple menu on a tablet or their own phone. Requests queue automatically and route to whichever robot is free. You set the templates, the branding and the formats once, and the software runs the event.

Twelve Ready-Made Mechanics
Same robot, same setup, twelve different things to sell. Portraits are one of them — the other eleven are why clients book it twice.
Drawings
The robot draws, and what it draws depends on what the guest gives it.
-
Portrait Sketches
A guest's photo becomes a drawn portrait with their name on it. The original mechanic and the easiest to explain to a client. -
Prompt Drawings
Guests describe what they want and get it drawn. No photo, no queue for the camera, and nobody worrying about how they look. -
Colouring Pages
A guest describes a picture, the robot draws the outline, they colour it in themselves.
A5, A4 and smaller. Family days, children's zones, festivals. -
Psychological Portraits
A few questions, and the answers become a drawing — a character, a superhero, a job of
the future. A portrait of how they answered, not how they look.
Written by Hand
The robot writes as well as draws — five fonts, and the words come from your guests.
-
Wishes
Guests write a message, the robot writes it out by hand. Cards go onto a wish wall, into a box, or home with whoever wrote them. -
Anonymous Feedback
Ideas, comments or answers to a question from the company — unsigned. The robot turns
them into cards you can read afterwards or pin up as they come. -
Fortunes
A guest types their name and gets a playful prediction written out in front of them. Like
a fortune cookie, only slower and better. -
Horoscopes
By star sign, themed to the event or the brand. A forecast for the day, the week, or
something written specially for your campaign.
Formats and Builds
Where the drawing ends up matters as
much as what it is.
much as what it is.
-
Creative Badges
No photo needed. The guest types an interest and the robot draws that instead, with their name beside it. Can be run as an outline they colour in themselves. -
Photo Badges
A sketch of the guest with their name underneath. On the back, your conference schedule, a QR code, a floor map or sponsor branding — printed in advance, drawn on the day. -
Collaborative Mosaic
One large image split into numbered pieces. The robot draws them in sequence, guests
colour their own, and the wall fills up as the day goes.. -
Your Own Mechanic
Combine any of the above — a test result plus a name, a prompt drawing plus a message, a
branded template plus guest data. The software is ours, so we build to the brief.
What You Get
Three ways to generate
From a photo, from a text prompt, or from a guest's answers to a short test. All three route into the same drawing pipeline.
Handwriting in five fonts
The robot writes as well as draws. English, Russian and Ukrainian supported..
Templates and formats
10 x 15 cm and 15 x 20 cm, portrait or landscape, plus custom layouts up to A4 within the robot's working area. You decide where the drawing sits, where the name goes and where your client's logo lands.
Client Menu
Guests interact through a separate interface — on a tablet at the stand, or on their own phone via QR code. Each mechanic shows only the fields it needs. Requests queue automatically and route to whichever robot is free.
Multiple robots
Connect several machines to one workstation and feed them from the same queue. Scale the stand without scaling the operator.
Licence management
Activation key with machine binding, transferable when you replace hardware.

Need the Robot Too?
We sell software. If you'd rather have everything in one delivery, we can source the Rotrics arm alongside the licence — priced individually, since shipping a robotic arm depends on where you are.

Software for Drawing Robots
What it is
SketchActivities turns a Rotrics arm into an event platform. A guest sends a photo, a prompt or a message; the software generates the artwork and the robot draws or writes it on paper. Twelve mechanics are built in, from portraits to collaborative mosaics.
Why operators buy it
Because one machine becomes twelve products. A wedding wants portraits, a conference wants badges, a family day wants colouring pages, a trade show wants a mosaic that fills a wall by close of play. Same kit in the van, different proposal each time.

What it costs to run
A perpetual licence and nothing else. No subscription, no renewal fee, no charge per drawing. AI generation runs on your own OpenAI key at cost. Paper, pens and the API — that's the running cost.
Who it's for
Photo booth companies, event suppliers, agencies and anyone already selling activations who needs something new in the catalogue.

We run it ourselves
SketchActivities is the software behind our own robot activations across the UK. We build against real events rather than a feature list — see what it does in practice at /robot-activations.

Yes. The key binds to a machine but transfers when you replace hardware.
Yes, from a single workstation and a single queue. Useful when footfall outgrows one arm.
Yes. Artwork is generated as guests request it, so the machine needs a connection. Plan
for venue Wi-Fi or bring your own. But there are functions that do not require the Internet Text

Photo booth companies, event suppliers and agencies who already run activations and want something their competitors don't have. If you've been selling the same three booths for five years, this is the different thing.
