How does a digital image become a real painting? In this interactive workshop, KI Salon demonstrates how artificial intelligence, image analysis, and a robotic arm come together to create art. Participants will experience live how their own drawings are translated into real brush movements and painted directly onto canvas.

After a short introduction to robotic painting as a creative tool, speaker Michael Stroh (PhD candidate in robotics and AI) will provide exciting insights into current research on Creative AI, image analysis, and human-robot interaction. This is followed by a live demonstration of a painting robot, which participants can actively control during an interactive session.

What to expect

  • Accessible introduction to robotic painting and creative AI
  • Insights into image analysis, vectorization, and trajectory planning
  • Live demonstration of a painting robot
  • Interactive drawing session with direct transfer to canvas
  • Exchange and discussion at the end


Participation: free of charge (limited spots available)
