This autonomous sculpture combines engineering and art in an attempt to demonstrate how machines can become artists - an ability only found in humans. Similar to a child, an algorithm trained itself for days until it was capable of generating realistic digital art. This program was coupled with an industrial robot and a novel algorithm designed to convert digital pictures into robot-movements. The resulting robotic sculpture is capable of generating non-human artworks, selecting a random motif, and painting it on physical canvas with acrylic without any human intervention.
