Robot artist Ai-Da released by Egyptian border guards
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.
" The Embassy is glad to see that Ai-Da The Artist robot has now been cleared through customs, " The Embassy said in a statement. " Customs clearance procedures can be lengthy, and are required before importation of any artworks or IT equipment. "
According to creator Aidan Meller, border guards seized Ai-Da because they had been suspicious of her modem, before then raising issues with her camera.
Mr Meller offered to remove the modem, but said that he could not remove the cameras, which are essential to Ai-Da's ability to paint. The robot uses AI algorithms to turn what is recorded through its camera into works of art.
" I can ditch the modems, but I can't really gouge Her Eyes out, " he told The Guardian .
He praised The Work of the UK ambassador, who Mr Meller said had " been working through The Night to get Ai-Da released, " but pointed out that her late release meant it would be difficult to get her ready for the display on Thursday. " We're right up to The Wire now, " He Said .
The Work was due to be part of The First Contemporary Art exhibition at The Pyramids in Egypt for 4,500 years.
Both Ai-Da and her sculpture had been sent in specialised flight cases by air cargo to Cairo before the " Forever Is Now" exhibition, which will run until 7 November.
Her clay sculpture is an interpretation of The Greek riddle of The Sphinx : what goes on four feet in The Morning , Two Feet at noon and three feet in the evening? A human going through the stages of being a baby, an adult and finally Old Age using a walking stick.
Her interpretation of the famous Greek riddle is a sculpture of Ai-Da with three Legs .
and her artwork, which includes The First " self-portrait with no self" has been displayed at the Design Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London .
