Robo is part of a fleet of robots shaking up the art world, carving with pinpoint precision, and in record time.

One artist told us, Michelangelo would be rolling in his grave, but not everyone is happy.

Robotor's chief technician, also a sculptor, turns the artist's model into a 3D file.

Giacomo Massari says Michelangelo employed dozens of apprentices who worked anonymously behind the scenes.

Michael Monfroni told us only a human touch can coax the divine out of a stoneand that sounds like this: Michelangelo would never lower himself to using a robot.

The prestigious Sculptors' Guild of Carrara is dead set against robots.

Vermont -based artist Richard Erdman added a robot to his team in Carrara about a year ago .

Erdman 's sculptures are held by more than a hundred galleries and museums worldwide.

Robo does about half the work, polishing the marble until it glows and finishing those hard-to-get-at-places that the robot still can't reach.
