Some of the artist robots collaborate with humans, while others are completely autonomous. This year’s entries include the Manibus Team, which used a bot to render the movements of ballet dancers with paint on paper, and the completely autonomous CloudPainter, which uses deep learning and artificial intelligence to paint whatever it wants.
One of RobotArt’s aims is to inspire more students to consider studying STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines as a means to a creative career.
Winners are determined by public voting via Facebook, as well as by a panel of judges. The competition runs through May 15.
