I spy with my little eye, a crack in a Renaissance masterpiece. Well, that particular “job” has fallen onto the shoulders of a robot now, at least at Madrid's Reina Sofia museum in Spain. A huge robot will scan a painting of a masterpiece, where it will do so in an extremely slow process since it has to snap hundreds of microscopic shots via the use of infrared and ultraviolet photography. This particular robot will allow restorers to check out cracks, scratches and creases which are difficult to see at times with the naked eye, in addition to underlying preparatory sketches and other touch-ups.
