Abstract:
While many computer graphics researchers
are working to improve output
on laser printers, video. film
recorders. plotters. and high-end
PostScript devices. a number of artists
and scientists have turned to using
robots to generate output. And in some
cases. the robot actually creates the art
to begin with. Artist Harold Cohen has
been developing an expert visual representation
system for nearly 20 years,
and scientists Kenneth Goldberg and
Timothy Anderson have been experimenting
with robots that paint an image
based on the graphics in a drawing program.
These systems generate output
on paper or canvas in ways that challenge
our preconceptions about precision.
productivity, and creativity.
