You're In Business

Robohood Inc. is a verifiable Art+Tech startup based in Fort Lauderdale, selling robotic painting solutions (software + hardware). While the project demonstrates genuine technical innovation by combining AI art generation with robotic arm actuation, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to low-quality submission data. The user claimed 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' is the audience, which contradicts verifiable data showing niche traction (~18 units sold as of 2022/2023). The product is legitimate and listed on industry sites like RobotShop, but its high cost and early-stage adoption place it in the 'Minimal Traction' category (0–100).

Description
RoboHood is an Art + Technology company that uses robotic manipulators to create real and unique paintings. We are the industry leaders of Robotic Arts. We’ve developed easy to use software, and Robotic Arts Studio Kits with everything you’d need to start painting today. Our Robot Artists use oil & acrylic paints, paint brushes and a variety of painting techniques by calculating each brush stroke and delicately mixing colors right on the surface of a canvas, transforming any photo into an original painting. The results are stunning fine art pieces that possess a unique and cohesive style. We are developing a tool for creatives that expands on the limitless possibilities of art making, using a robot. Robotic Arts is a genre that is increasing in popularity and we are one of the first companies to create software that can be used with any robotic arm to make paintings. You will be involved and leading the process of developing a new art form and making collections and paintings (landscape, portraits, sketches, etc.). Join our team or Create your own Artwork with our Robotic Arts Studio Kit!
