Pindar van Arman has developed a unique application for an ST robot for painting portraits using AI the system works the same way a human artist would- painting a part of the portrait - stepping back, comparing the painting with the subject then going back to add more or change something.
ST Robotics proudly announces that one of its robots has been integrated by artist and roboticist Pindar Van Arman to autonomously create expressive art.
Pindar is delving deep into artonomous' ability to create emotionally evocative portraits. Toward this goal, he and the robot have teamed up with portrait photographer Kitty Simpson in an interspecific collaboration. They plan to paint hundreds of faces using a creative feedback loop, while continually refining artonomous' creative process.
The ST R17 HS robot, mounted with a camera on its arm and a paint brush in its gripper, uses its array of more than two dozen artificial intelligence algorithms to paint sets of curated portraits. The finished paintings are then critiqued by the robot, Kitty, and Pindar. Based on the critique, Kitty adjusts how she takes the next set of portraits. artonomous then retrains its own neural networks to better understand faces, and Pindar modifies the robot's A.I. and hardware. This process is repeated as the body of work is formed.
Of his progress, Pindar Van Arman says, "I developed the ST robots into much more than simple assistants. My robots are now effectively augmenting my creativity, and even achieving their own form of creativity."
The trio's evolving work can be seen at https://artonomo.us where they have already completed the first 32 portraits. Kitty and Pindar project that hundreds and possibly thousands of portraits will be needed for artonomous to improve its creative process to learn the subtleties of fine portraiture.
