Robot Produces Paintings With That 'Imperfect' Human Look

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 28, 2013 @08:57AM from the ok-time-for-your-voight-kampff dept.

kkleiner writes "An artistic robotic system named e-David has been developed that produces paintings that appear to be created by humans. Using an iterative process of brush strokes and image comparison, e-David's assembly line welder arm can paint in up to 24 colors and add shading where needed. The robot even cleans its five brushes along the way, according to University of Konstanz researchers who developed the system as an exercise in machine learning."

You should read the article...
It specifically mentions how the machine is not remotely "creative" or even trying to mimic creativity.
