This robot—named RAP, for Robotic Action Painter-creates original paintings using a combination of random decisions and responses to its environment. Each of RAP’s paintings is original. As it creates, the robot receives no outside instructions, relying solely on its onboard program. RAP even decides when each piece is finished.
