Paul Hoc is the world’s first robotic artist. What it needs is just a pen, and it’ll then start drawing on a piece of paper and it’ll never get tired. The robot could probably be used to replace human for creating art, especially good for creating deign and engineering drawings etc.
The speed of a robotic artist is definitely much faster than what a human can do. Perhaps, the world needs much speedier production for art, which eventually robot will take over human. The robot shall be very useful and very much more productive for creating drawing needed for engineering design.
The Paul Hoc artistic robot was designed by Objetgraphik for the 2008 Saint Etienne International Design Biennial. It can move canvas creating geometric designs with near-to-perfect precision which human cannot compete. It simply looks like a small truck, with a robotic arm and a felt pen in its hand. Take a look at the video of Paul Hoc in action below:
