FRIDA, a Framework and Robotics Initiative for Developing Arts, is a robot painting system designed to translate an artist's high-level intentions into real world paintings. FRIDA can paint from combinations of input images, text, style examples, sounds, and sketches. Planning is performed in a differentiable, simulated environment created using real data from the robot allowing gradient descent to be used to generate high-fidelity painting plans.  Vision is used to perceive the painting progress throughout creation to respond to and embrace the stochastic nature of paint as a medium.
