So Kanno and Takahiro Yamaguchi's Senseless Drawing Bot may provide another angle of world domination for the robot conspiracy theorists, but in a short, one-minute video, the two Japanese innovators prove their bot is only a threat in the art world.

The robot has an artistic form and inexplicable organic style that the creative duo was able to achieve through a series of swivels on the machine capable of shaking a can of spraypaint and pulling the trigger with the flick of its "wrist."

See more of the robot's evolution on Kanno and Yamaguchi's Tumblr, This is Not a Graffiti.
