Acrylic Robotics is trying to meld the worlds of artificial intelligence, engineering, robotics and art into a practical form of production. The idea is not to just produce replicas of an artist\u2019s pieces, but to also bring digital creations to canvas without resorting to simple prints. At the same time, the company\u2019s ethical approach is to ensure artists get paid for what they create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montreal-based Acrylic Robotics is utilizing a robot\u2019s arm to paint fine art on canvas using AI software that emulates the actual painter\u2019s brush strokes.
