Can robots create art?

Описание: Welcome to Robots do Art!

My name is Michal Adamik, I'm the artist and my robot is a brush.

I create unique artworks with robots and code.

Drawing an image with a robot is like having a hand extension of your own brain.

About me:

I’m Michal Adamik, a Slovakian artist based in Bratislava. I got my Master’s Degree in Robotics and Cybernetics at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. There, I also finished my Doctorate with studies focused on methodologies generating toolpath trajectories for industrial robots. I contracted research and organized science exhibitions for the general public.

About my art:

Nowadays, we see a rise of artificial intelligence, and the media are trying to persuade us that we live in an era of thinking robots, but don’t get fooled. In my research of robotic drawing methodologies, I found out that I cannot create a robot capable of developing its drawing expressions. We witnessed the development of the artistic style of great painters, but we cannot expect this from robots. However, the emergent behaviour of algorithms can be mistaken for robot creativity, but again don’t get fooled. Human invention and creativity enable us to create a smart software architecture that allows machines to do their tasks. The robot draws because I envisioned this particular drawing style. In other words – Robots do art, people create.

About the robot:

The robot has a passive flexible tool with graphite designed to induce different pressure levels at the tooltip to produce strokes with different intensities. The performance of the drawing process is highly influenced by the paper used. With an RGB camera, I measured the performance of different papers and picked the best Arches Hot-press cotton paper which happens to be one of the most quality paper made. The black pen strokes are digitally hand-drawn to vector graphics and reinterpreted by the robot. The finished artwork is sprayed with two layers of varnish which makes the shades more pop. I am focused on artwork longevity thus only archival, or gallery materials are used.

If you like my work, you may support me by buying artwork. The profit goes to the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, where I developed this system.
