In this paper,we investigate the problemof scheduling a 6DOF robotic arm to carry out a sequence of spray painting tasks. The duration of any given painting task is process dependent and fixed, but the duration of an ‘‘intertask’’, corresponding to the process of relocating and reorienting the robot arm from one painting task to the next one, is influenced by the order of tasks andmust be minim...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the influence of neglect and the effect of Prism Adaptation (PA) combined with continuous Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (cTBS) on the art constructive errors of painting rehabilitation of stroke patients with neglect. Methods: Fourteen patients with neglect and art constructive errors of painting secondary to stroke were randomly as...

From the beginning of the 16th century onwards, public anatomy demonstrations developed and spread acrossEurope. In 1555,King Philip II granted the AmsterdamGuild of Surgeons the privilege to dissect bodies of executed criminals to teach anatomy. Dissections were held once a year in the winter season as the corpses could be preserved at low temperatures. An anatomical theatre of the 17th centur...

A set of algorithms is proposed in this paper to automatically transform 3D animal models to Chinese painting style. Inspired by real painting process in Chinese painting of animals, we divide the whole rendering process into two parts: borderline stroke making and interior shading. In borderline stroke making process we first find 3D model silhouettes in real-time depending on the viewing dire...

To test quantitatively whether there are systematic chromosome-chromosome associations within human interphase nuclei, interchanges between all possible heterologous pairs of chromosomes were measured with 24-color whole-chromosome painting (multiplex FISH), after damage to interphase lymphocytes by sparsely ionizing radiation in vitro. An excess of interchanges for a specific chromosome pair w...

We introduce roboPix, a robot, which is able to paint action paintings from a user’s thoughts using a Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI). The BCI provides signals, which encompass the user’s recognized thoughts and the user’s level of excitement. These signals command the movement of the robot’s arm, which spreads the paint on the canvas. Our system combines explicit and implicit signals to persona...

Abstract—For traditional painting materials, the artisan used to combine the pigments with different binders to create colors. As time goes by, the materials used for painting evolved from natural to chemical materials. The vast variety of ingredients used in chemical materials has complicated restoration work; it makes conservation work more difficult. Conservation work also becomes harder whe...

Persian painting has usually been studied from historical point of views. But its formation is rooted in a specific social context. In this study, we will try to contextualize it and we will show that this social context has a crucial role regarding its aesthetic. Persian painting is an art of royal courts and it represents the life of princes combined with Persian epic legendes. This social co...

We present two methods to create realistic Chinese painting. The first method is to create 3D Chinese painting animation using existing software packages. The second method is an expressive paint tool which allows an artist to interactively create 2D Chinese painting.
