2022: Robot Artist Presentation

At the end of October 2022, LETI presented a hardware robot artist at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University, which, according to the developers, can be used to restore and copy paintings of any complexity.

The approximate cost of the car is more than 200 thousand rubles, told TASS developer and associate professor of the Department of Computer Aided Design Systems of St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI" Arthur Karimov.

He also noted that the robot's technology is based on applying swabs using a given algorithm using a gradient. It was a difficult task to get to work with paints, but it was solved. Now specialists will work to ensure that the quality of transmission of paints and smears improves, Karimov said.

It is known that the robot has predecessors that were developed by other scientists. Previously, experts only programmed the robot to mix colors on the palette, so it was difficult to convey clean colors.

Going to work with paints was a difficult task, but we decided it, in the future we will work to improve the quality of transmission of paints and strokes, I think in the horizon of five years we will be able to copy some work of art of some given era. Now we work only with acrylic paints, in the future we plan to switch to oil, - said the associate professor of the Department of Computer Aided Design Systems of St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI."

According to him, in the future it will also be possible to set any playback accuracy parameters. By October 2022, the error in copying is approximately 7%, he said. Karimov added that in order to achieve the maximum effect, it will be necessary to use authentic paints, for this it is necessary to produce machine learning for each type separately.^[1]
