The intersection of human and robotic creativity. FRIDA – [Framework and Robotics Initiative for Developing Arts] is a robot arm that creates paintings with the help of AI.
From Carnegie Mellon University:
Users can direct FRIDA by inputting a text description, submitting other works of art to inspire its style, or uploading a photograph and asking it to paint a representation of it. The team is experimenting with other inputs as well, including audio. They played ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and asked FRIDA to paint it.
The New York Times also published this story on FRIDA
This Robot Can Paint. But Is It Art?
The process of moving from language prompts to pixelated images to brushstrokes can be complicated, as the robot must account for “the noise of the real world,” Dr. Oh said. But she, Mr. Schaldenbrand and Jim McCann, a roboticist at Carnegie Mellon who also helped develop FRIDA, believe that the research is worth pursuing for two reasons: It could improve the interface between humans and machines, and it could, through art, help connect people to one another.
