If you know how many images needs to uploaded then define a count for that then use a loop.

class Utility{
       public void uploadImage(){
            Thread.sleep(300);
            StringSelection str = new StringSelection("C:\\Users\\DGM\\Desktop\\bug images\\1.PNG");
            Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(str, null);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            Thread.sleep(3000);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

            Thread.sleep(300);
            StringSelection str = new StringSelection("C:\\Users\\DGM\\Desktop\\bug images\\2.PNG");
            Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(str, null);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            Thread.sleep(3000);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
            robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
}
}

Call the uploadImage method into your test.

    int images = 2;
    for (int i = 0; i < images; i++) {
     Utility utility = new Utility();
     utility.uploadImage();
      }

If the images count is dynamic and needs to be passed manually then read it from excel or text file before your @Test

    int images = readImageCountFromDataSheet();
    for (int i = 0; i < images; i++) {
     Utility utility = new Utility();
     utility.uploadImage();
    }
