Robotart

PAOLINI

Lorenzo Scalera, PhD student in robotics at University of Udine (Italy), and prof. Paolo Gallina, associate professor of applied mechanics at University of Trieste (Italy), are the members of the team “Busker Robot”. Our innovative robotic painting system has been developed for rendering images into original watercolour artworks, by means of a six degrees of freedom robotic arm and a series of image processing and path-planning algorithms. Robotic painting is a process that generates interest and fascination and our challenge is to introduce a novel artistic and original expression, starting from a digital image and taking advantage of the beautiful effects generated by the watercolour technique.
