In Pictures: The story of the Picasso and a 1.5 ton robot

Spanish telecom firm, Telefonica, built a robot to digitally image and look for problems with Pablo Picasso's famous 'Guernica' painting

Technician Humberto Duran checks pictures taken by a camera mounted on a mobile robot-like structure as it moves across Picasso's 'Guernica.’ The machine was built so that "Guernica" does not have to make the risky move to a conservation laboratory, where such investigative work would have traditionally been done.
