On Thursday, July 24, 2025, the STRAD robot autonomously painted the final dot of a 35,000-dot pointillist street art piece by Kan (https://kandmv.com). The system consists of a fully actuated suspended aerial platform with eight thrusters, equipped with a modified Molotow dripstick marker. It can paint dots at a rate of 400 dots per hour with centimeter-level precision thanks to the fusion of multiple sensors (IMU, distance sensor, total station). The mural was created as part of the Street Art Fest Grenoble Alpes, organized by Spacejunk.

This mural is a world first, the result of a four-year collaboration between the University of Strasbourg, Université Grenoble Alpes, Polyvionics, and Spacejunk.
