Whether complete self-operating or having a human touch incorporated within, robots have been growing in numbers – and will grow more – with a purpose of taking over different tasks involved in people’s daily lives. it is evident how amazon is heavily investing in the development of delivery drones, car manufacturers compete on who will produce the best self-driving vehicle fastest, and even in surgery, such machines are capable of precision that outdoes a human hand. From 3D modeling marvels to intricately penned sci-fi character sketches, there’s a spectrum to explore. We are looking at some of the most designer & artistic robots:
Glassmaking Robots
Using her extensive knowledge in craft techniques, Stefanie Pender has ‘taught’ a robot how to make ‘glass’. Pender began the quest to find out whether machines could be trained to become masters. There is great promise in augmenting emerging technologies with the implicit knowledge of craft processes. Depth of knowledge is obtained through manipulation of materials which helps one to understand their behavior as well as physical properties and how they react to changing conditions.
Humanoid Robots
Humanoid robot concept art is primarily concerned with creating an artificial human being. In general, the robot concept art will also have the same shape and functions as humans and it will have a torso, two legs, a head, and two arms concept art. Nevertheless, in design other forms eliciting an anthropoid shape, waist up designs would be the most common.
Concept Robots
Concept art can be looked at differently than an illustration even when the two share a common ground to begin with which is illustration. When it comes to concept art, however, we are dealing with the building and developing of a whole new franchise from scratch with the help of guided artistic vision. In other words, concept art is driven by the need to express visually certain moods, ideas and or designs that exist in comic books, animation, video games and films.
ClayXYZ Robots
3D printing has been associated with plastics. There are those breaking the norm and trying out 3D printing processes using materials like metal, yarn, and even foam. The last wave in this sector is from ClayXYZ, which is a desktop printer designed for 3D printing with ceramics. With some of the most beautiful results presented through the 3D printing process, ClayXYZ is set to be an essential device for every artist wishing to digitally design their creations before sculpting them in clay.
Cyborg Robots
Cyborgs are not limited to humans as they can be anyone or anything even a bird or an animal. This factor differentiates robots from cyborgs since a robot performs tasks strictly as coded, but a cyborg does not. Players and movie-goers in Rise of the Robots saw a Cyborg called Coton which was the protagonist of the plot. The cyborg was envisioned as a muscular bipedal figure clad in deep blue battle suit. Another game and movie which contains a cyborg is Robocop.
These designer & artistic robots have proved that nothing is impossible for technology. With tech like AI in art stepping up its game, the field sprints forward. Augmented reality throws in a layer, and suddenly, concept art isn’t just seen; it’s experienced.
