RoboArt: DALL-E and KUKA Robot Shake Hands

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create graphics has shown high popularity in the digital industry. Creating visuals, however, is not as stunning as creating AI-based human-like drawings on canvas, which is much more appealing in the world of aesthetics. In this article, we set a goal of teaching the robot to draw like a human artist. In this effort, the boundaries of modern art are pushed by integrating a ready-made DALL-E neural network with a KUKA robot through a CAD software module. To create 2D drawings on the canvas, a novel sort of end-effector is devised and manufactured on a 3D printer. The technique proved to be effective, as evidenced by the demonstration of a robot that draws unique images on canvas using human-like gestures.
