NORN uses paints, canvases, and brushes, just like the rest of us, to create his works of art. This talented robot was the invention of two data scientists from Moscow and Altai, Russia.

The idea came first

AI_NORN was started in 2019 by two programmers. The main goal of the project was to help them clear up their minds after a long day of work. Let’s face it, non-stop programming can really take a toll on you. So they decided to program an AI-powered robot painter on their own.

Kidding aside, the NORN project helped the programmers to get their minds off of their stressful work-life and work on

something they were passionate about.

When the two programmers wanted to do something to declutter their minds, they started to draw. But they soon found out that learning to paint as an adult is not as easy as you might think. And this is where the idea for a robot painter was born.

They looked at existing products in the market that do something similar to what they had in mind. They were able to find various kinds of robots, but they all did some limited amount of work. They were all either product that generated digital images using neuronets, robotic manipulators, or plain printers. This is where Norn was born.
