AI researchers has created a powerful graffiti robot which studies human artists and uses this knowledge to create massive wall doodles in record time.The machine, called GTGraffiti, uses motion-capture technology to examine real graffiti artists.

It uses this data to train algorithms capable of mimicking human movements, and feeds it into a robotic apparatus that can create its own 'tags'.The technology could prove devastating in the wrong hands, as local councils across Britain already face an uphill battle when it comes to keeping walls clean of what the law perceives as vandalism.The robot was designed to demonstrate the capabilities of AI in mimicking complex human motions, which could have important applications in everything from robotic surgery to juggling.Gerry Chen, a robotics student at Georgia Tech and one of the researchers involved in the project, said: "Art encompasses some of the most nuanced motions that we can make as humans."The idea is that if we can reproduce these motions, then we should also be able to produce a lot of other human motions that are necessary for general automation." The researchers say that future versions of the robot could be used by graffiti artists to create new artworks from miles away with the power of remote control.

If true, the possibilities of such a powerful robot could be endless. Criminals could vandalise priceless monuments like Stonehenge or the Vatican from the comfort of their lairs thousands of miles away without the police ever catching them.

Luckily, the researchers behind the project have no such intentions. In a research paper, they said: "Our work can be applied to graffiti preservation by recreating captured artwork, to human-robot collaborating in art by.
