What can artist robots do for you? Well, a recent Christie's sale of an artist robot's digital image sold for $69.3 million is an excellent example. The work was not the creation of a human but was created through machine learning and algorithms. Also, robot artists are making their presence felt within the mainstream art industry. What about the future, you ask? What are the benefits and drawbacks of collaborating with an artist robot?
Art robots
Robotic art can be divided into several different branches. Robotic installation is one type of robotic art. This involves robots that respond to viewers' interactions. The robots can then respond in different ways depending on the programming done by the artist. This type of art is becoming increasingly popular. You can read on to learn about the future of robot art. It will likely become a common feature in museums and other venues within the next years. Here are some fascinating examples.
Cybernetic sculptures
CYSP (Cybernetic and Spatial Sculpture) was the first art robot designed by an artist. In the mid-20th Century, artists started creating robotic sculptures that could interact with the environment. These artists created interactive works, such as The Senster (an electromechanical sculpture with a voice and that could communicate with its environment), which was an example of this type of work. The artists started creating works with computer-controlled robotics in the 1980s.
Murals
Artist robots can now paint large scale murals on walls and other surfaces. Unlike human artists, these robots are not human and don't produce original artwork. These robots use intelligent algorithms to create art. They can spray about one square meter per minute. Robots can paint three times as large as a standard mural than human artists. In the future, these robots are expected to break the record of largest mural.
Collaboration between artist/robot
Robot-based art is an emerging field. Robots are creating amazing art in all forms, including an immersive mural, abstract pieces, and collaborative pieces. There are even galleries that exhibit robot-created art. Because the robots create the artwork, it is viewed as if they are the real artists. Is that true? Are we really seeing robots creating art?
Origins
The history of robots and artist performances is intrinsically linked. The term "robot", which originated in theatre, continues to play an important role in contemporary performance. Rabot was created by Pauline in 1981 when she began animating dead animals mechanically. This robot was originally designed to imitate the feeling of being touched by a blade or grass. Its unpredictable movements mimic the feeling of being tickled and its visual and sonic characteristics are similar to those of a living creature.
Functions
Artists have explored the material and conceptual representations of art over the past decade. Artist robots allow artists to experiment with new concepts and explore all the possibilities of robotic art. These robots are embedded, which allows for natural interaction. Artists can use these robots to explore their conceptual and artistic ideas. These works can often be reimagined within different domains. Performances can be used as a tool by researchers and artists.
Criticism
While it may be easy to dismiss the idea of an artist robot, the robotic creators behind this new trend are proving to be a powerful force in contemporary art. Artist robots can make selfies into line drawings and analyze crowd reactions to art. These new creations raise ethical issues and inspire the creation new art forms.

FAQ
How does AI work?
An algorithm is a sequence of instructions that instructs a computer to solve a problem. An algorithm can be expressed as a series of steps. Each step is assigned a condition which determines when it should be executed. A computer executes each instruction sequentially until all conditions are met. This continues until the final result has been achieved.
Let's suppose, for example that you want to find the square roots of 5. You could write down every single number between 1 and 10, calculate the square root for each one, and then take the average. You could instead use the following formula to write down:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
Computers follow the same principles. It takes your input, multiplies it with 0.5, divides it again, subtracts 1 then outputs the result.
Who invented AI and why?
Alan Turing
Turing was born in 1912. His mother was a nurse and his father was a minister. He excelled in mathematics at school but was depressed when he was rejected by Cambridge University. He discovered chess and won several tournaments. He was a British code-breaking specialist, Bletchley Park. There he cracked German codes.
He died in 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was conceived in 1928. He studied maths at Princeton University before joining MIT. There he developed the LISP programming language. He was credited with creating the foundations for modern AI in 1957.
He passed away in 2011.
Is Alexa an AI?
The answer is yes. But not quite yet.
Amazon created Alexa, a cloud based voice service. It allows users to communicate with their devices via voice.
First, the Echo smart speaker released Alexa technology. However, similar technologies have been used by other companies to create their own version of Alexa.
These include Google Home as well as Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana.
How will governments regulate AI
AI regulation is something that governments already do, but they need to be better. They should ensure that citizens have control over the use of their data. Aim to make sure that AI isn't used in unethical ways by companies.
They also need ensure that we aren’t creating an unfair environment for different types and businesses. For example, if you're a small business owner who wants to use AI to help run your business, then you should be allowed to do that without facing restrictions from other big businesses.

How To
How to configure Siri to Talk While Charging
Siri can do many tasks, but Siri cannot communicate with you. This is because there is no microphone built into your iPhone. Bluetooth is an alternative method that Siri can use to communicate with you.
Here's how you can make Siri talk when charging.
