RMIT Health Lab's Robot Dog: Artist and Research Subject

RMIT

Spot, RMIT Health Transformation Lab's robot dog, will play a lead role in the development of a new artwork by Agnieszka Pilat at the NGV Triennial opening December this year.

Over four months, Spot and other robots will be trained by Pilat to paint a monolithic, durational work to be hung at the gallery.

The exhibition is the latest in Pilat's body of work that traces the lineage of 21st-century robotics and artificial intelligence through painting.

Research conducted by the Health Transformation Lab will coincide with the exhibition, contributing to ongoing research and an applied innovation program at RMIT that looks at how members of the public and particular professions respond to the introduction of autonomous robots into their spaces.
