The robot\u2019s depictions look untidy, mimicking the movements of a human hand creating sketches which are pinned to the wall throughout the duration of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The project has been built upon research findings from computer vision, artificial intelligence and cognitive computing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1270\" alt=\"Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011.jpg\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1040\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011.jpg 1100w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011-300x283.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011-1024x968.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Patrick-Tresset-Sketches-by-Paul-2011-317x300.jpg 317w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ntaa.be\/en\/\">Patrick has been selected for &#8216;Upgrade_5&#8217;, the New Technology Art Awards 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/doc.gold.ac.uk\/~ma701pt\/patricktresset\/\">Find out more\u00a0about Patrick\u2019s other projects<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 4-8th September Patrick Tresset will be exhibiting his project \u20185 Robots named Paul\u2019 at ARS electronica 2014 festival in Austria.
