Polish-born artist Agnieszka Pilat has taught three Spot robots from Boston Dynamics to paint abstract paintings and is successfully selling them at auctions.

Over the past four months, they have painted 36 paintings dedicated to generative artificial intelligence. They were presented at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, at an exhibition that will run until April 7, 2027.
Visitors will be able to see the whole process of creating masterpieces: how robots draw, move around the halls and charge at special stations. Robotic dogs navigate the premises thanks to special QR codes applied to the walls.
“I like to think of these paintings as ancient scrolls or rock paintings – perhaps we are witnessing the birth of a new civilization, and with it a new language. Perhaps this is the first attempt at communication,” said Agnieszka Pilat.
“It’s all generated by a machine, and I have no control or influence. The result is somehow cute and innocent, because it looks like a kindergarten for robots,” the artist added.
The artist says that she was born in Poland and later moved to the United States to work and was very surprised by how much Americans distrust technology. She painted several portraits of Spot before making them her “artistic partners.” In addition to Spot, the artist also collaborated with Agility Robotics and worked with the humanoid robot Digit, which Amazon is testing in its warehouses.
