This article explores robotic art in the context of history from ancient Greek to tele-robotic art. Beyond the robot technologies, we might find the characteristics of robotic art and kinetic art; what differentiates them from precedent art forms. New forms of kinetic art, which are controlled by digital algorithms, can be entitled as ‘digital kinetic art.’ Digital kinetic art could be a middle...

Although the AGDT is rather unbalanced and far from being representative of all genres and periods of Ancient Greek, no attempt has been made so far to perform automatic dependency parsing of Ancient Gre...

The aim of this application is to facilitate the efforts of Ancient ...
