Animated Drawings AI is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to automatically animate children’s drawings of people and human-like characters. The AI system can identify and animate the human-like figures in children’s drawings with a high success rate and without any human guidance. The goal is to bring children’s drawings to life by animating characters to move around. Parents can upload their children’s drawings to the prototype system, and watch their drawings become moving characters that dance, skip, and jump. They can even download a video of their animated drawings to share with friends and family. The AI system can handle the level of abstraction with which children draw, which is much more complex than realistic images of humans. The technology has implications for automated animation of other things, as abstraction is not limited to children’s drawings. There are several online tools available that use this technology, such as Animated Drawings by Meta AI and FAIR Animated Drawings.
