Patrick Tresset is a contemporary French artist and researcher based in Brussels.

Tresset develops robots and autonomous computational systems to produce series of drawings, paintings and animations the representation of human presence and experience using computational systems, AI, robotics, and traditional media. His works are most often presented in the form of performative theatrical installations that introduce artistic, expressive and obsessive aspects to robots’ behaviour. He has established himself internationally as one of the pioneers of computational creativity, graphics and performative robotic arts.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).

Originally a painter, Tresset is part of a generation of artists coming out of Goldsmiths' computing department. In 2004 Tresset joined Goldsmiths for an MSc degree in Arts Computing where from 2009 until 2012 he co­directed the AIkon­II project, a project which aimed to model and understand the sketching process. He also developed and taught the creative robotics module at Goldsmiths. In 2013 Patrick was a Senior Fellow at the Zukunftskolleg, University of Konstanz working with Prof. Deussen. Tresset has published research papers in the fields of computational aesthetics, social robotics, drawing research and AI.
