Robot dogs have unnerved and angered the public. So why is this artist teaching them to paint?
Briefly

From next week, three Spots named Basia, Vanya and Bunny will begin a four month residency at the NGV's Triennial in Melbourne, where they will be creating art in their purpose-built studio.
You've likely seen videos of these dogs opening doors, climbing stairs and decorating Christmas trees, while performing eerily fluid actions that cause people to write comments like, Can't wait to have a pack of these chase me through a post-apocalyptic urban hellscape!
For years, Pilat has both painted tech and trained tech to paint. She is a self-described techno-optimist who loves the robots: she even lives with Basia, and takes her for walks around her neighbourhood in New York City.
