Jackoon Artbot
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Oscar D Torres is a graduate student that has created a robot that paints named Jackoon.
The robot is named after Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. You can see the similarities to the artists in the painting here called Lemon Wasp.
Although the paintings look random, the robot uses a camera mounted on the ceiling to help tell it where to paint.
Jackoon is currently part of the ITP Spring Show.

Robocop can soon live on thanks to iRobot forming a partnership with Taser International. In Chicago on July 9- 10, the two companies will demonstrate the new model.
