In the basement of the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, a robot named Pablito examines artworks by Joan Miró using infrared and ultraviolet photography. This technology allows the robot to capture thousands of photos, which are then assembled into a large, detailed image. This process aids restorers by revealing details invisible to the naked eye. Named after Pablo Picasso, Pablito was first used on his work, Guernica. The robot enhances precision and detects defects without touching the artwork, a crucial requirement for working with valuable pieces by artists like Picasso, Miró, Bacon, and Dalí.
