Robotic Maestros: Unleashing Innovation in Music and Visual Arts
Ai-Da is the world’s first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist created by Aidan Meller. She can draw, and paint, and is a performance artist. One of the key features of Ai-Da is its ability to create art using a robotic arm and a built-in camera that scans the environment and captures images. The robot’s AI algorithms can then use this data to create sketches and paintings, which are then printed out and exhibited in galleries. Ai-Da has the potential to make art more inclusive and accessible, as its unique blend of technology and art can attract a wider audience and encourage greater participation. Through its interactive and social features, Ai-Da can engage with people who may not have had the opportunity to experience or create art, opening up new avenues for creativity and self-expression.
DrozBot is a robot developed by Sylvain Calinon and designed to learn new tasks through observation and imitation of human movements, using a technique known as programming by demonstration. For instance, it can draw artistic portraits of people. The input images for the portrait are taken interactively by the robot itself. The robot understands the problem of drawing portraits as a problem of coverage which is then solved by an ergodic control algorithm to compute the strokes. The ergodic computation of the strokes for the portrait gives an artistic look to them.
Desdemona, also known as “Desi,” is a humanoid robot and the lead vocalist of the Jam Galaxy Band developed in partnership with Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET. She runs on music and electricity and is on a mission to share her belief that the world can be changed for the better through the power of AI in the creative arts. She joins her bandmates, including Ben Goertzel, CEO and Founder of SingularityNET, on keyboards and Jam Galaxy CEO Dianne Krouse on saxophone, to bring a unique and visionary performance to audiences. With her positive message and unique perspective, Desdemona is on a journey to help artists and humanity see a brighter future.
