Even artificial intelligence can’t resist Where’s Waldo.

Nashville and Atlanta-based agency redpepper programmed a robot to find the ubiquitous-yet-elusive stripe-clad bespectacled world traveler.

Using AutoML, it took approximately a week for Matt Reed, creative technologist at redpepper’s innovation lab, to program the “There’s Waldo” robot to scan pages and find Waldo. According to a press release, Reed had never used the program before the project. You can check out “There’s Waldo” in action below.

The project showcases redpepper’s innovation offerings in a fun, lighthearted way.
