A Swedish robotics company has teamed up with hotels to create a robot that uses guests' sleep patterns for art.

The Acne company and Ibis hotels will portray sleep data on canvas through a robot connected to bedding that monitors temperature, body movement and pressure on the mattress, sounds and vibrations.

The Sweet Bed captures all this through 80 sensors, and the data is sent to a robot installed in the hotel's lobby.

The robot then transforms the sleep data into digital art.
