Visual Storytelling: An Embodied Companion [Arts and Robotics]

Earlier works with drawing robots were motivated by ideas of delegation and autonomy to create a distance between the artist’s intentions and the final mark. In contrast, we present Companion, an artistic apparatus integrating a drawing robot with multimodal large language models (LLMs) to reintroduce the artist’s pres...
