Patrick Tresset and Frederic Fol Leymarie direct the Aikon-II project, which uses computational modeling and robotics to replicate the sketching performed by a human hand. The robot, named Paul, has a style that resembles Tresset's, but plans are in the works to develop a robot that can evolve its own unique personal style.
Reports Nick Clark, of The Independent newspaper in London, "He believes he remains the artist at the heart of Paul's work. 'The robot in some ways is a replacement for myself. For the moment I'm still the author of the drawing and the author of the robot.'"
