“…Another application of robots in art, other than in pen drawing and brush painting, is that of spray painting, a task typically employed in industry [21][22][23]. Examples of robotic spray painting for artistic purposes can be found in the works of Viola Ago [24] and L. Scalera et al [25], who adopted industrial robotic arms equipped with an airbrush, and in the work of A. S. Vempati et al, who developed PaintCopter, an autonomous UAV for spray painting on 3D surfaces [26].…”

In this paper, we present non-photorealistic rendering techniques that are applied together with a painting robot to realize artworks with original styles. Our robotic painting system is called Busker Robot and it has been considered of interest in recent art fairs and international exhibitions. It consists of a six degree-of-freedom collaborative robot and a series of image processing and path planning algorithms. In particular, here, two different rendering techniques are presented and a description of the experimental set-up is carried out. Finally, the experimental results are discussed by analyzing the elements that can account for the aesthetic appreciation of the artworks.

“…Energy efficiency can also be enhanced by evaluating the performance of the robot throughout its workspace and by optimizing the location of the task with respect to the base of the manipulator. The positioning of the robot with respect to the required task is indeed essential not only for the correct execution of the operation, such as for example in robotic painting [27][28][29] or pick-and-place operations [15,30,31] but also to minimize the expenditure of energy required by the actuators.…”

Enhancing energy efficiency is one of the main challenges of today’s industrial robotics and manufacturing technology. In this paper a task-related analysis of the energetic performance of a 4-DOF industrial parallel robot is presented, and the optimal location of a predefined task with respect to the robot workspace is investigated. An optimal position of the task relative to the robot can indeed reduce the actuators’ effort and the energy consumption required to complete the considered operation. The dynamic and electro-mechanical models of the manipulators are developed and implemented to estimate the energy consumption of a parametrized motion with trapezoidal speed profile, i.e., a pick-and-place operation. Numerical results provide energy consumption maps that can be adopted to place the starting and ending points of the task in the more energy-efficient location within the robot workspace.

“…Furthermore, in 2016 Luo et al [11] proposed a robot capable of painting colorful pictures with a visual control system like human artists. Two other interesting examples of robotic painting are proposed by Scalera et al: the first uses the spray painting technique [12], commonly found in the industrial environment for aesthetic and protection [13,14]; the second is the first robotic painting system adopting the watercolor technique [15,16]. Other recent examples include the works presented by Karimov et al [17], who developed a robot capable of creating full-color images aimed at reproducing a human-like style, and by Igno et al [18], who proposed a robotic system focused on painting artworks by image regions.…”

This paper presents a novel robotic painting system able to create artworks using the palette knife technique. The implementation of this method with a robotic system is particularly challenging, since the robot needs to precisely manipulate the palette knife to pick up and release the color on the canvas. The painting system comprises a 6-DOF collaborative robot, a camera to acquire the information on the color position, and several algorithms for the artistic rendering of the images and for the planning of the trajectories that the robot has to follow. During the painting process the user can modify multiple parameters: both software, for example, stroke position and orientation, and hardware, for example, palette knife inclination and height, to obtain different stroke effects. Finally, the experimental results are discussed by analyzing the artworks painted by the novel robotic system.
