ABOUT THIS RESEARCH TOPIC

Creativity has now emerged at the front line of research in the
interdisciplinary field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The goal of this
Research Topic is to present this research in a single collection. There
are many important lines of investigation within creativity and robotics.
Some include designing and developing robots that can integrate and
facilitate creativity in humans, solve problems creatively, provide “out of
the box” ideas, act curiously, be intrinsically motivated, make sense of
and integrate different stimuli, and extend the human potential by
achieving tasks that neither the robot nor the human could do alone.

We welcome researchers from diverse backgrounds, including those that are
technical/computational, social scientific, and design-oriented.
Interdisciplinarity will be a focus of this Research Topic, as we bring
together research on algorithms and simulations, theoretical systematic
literature reviews and meta-analyses, experimental studies, field studies,
designs, art, and more. Investigations on creativity and robotics come from
different standpoints, from the development of robots that incorporate
creative abilities, to robots that have been developed as tools to
potentiate creativity in humans but are not necessarily creative
themselves. Thus, this is a timely moment for a dedicated venue that
integrates current research efforts in creativity and robotics.

By exploring novel ways to emulate creativity in robots, we aim to create
new tools, as well as to advance the understanding of what creativity is in
humans. Understanding human creativity is an ongoing, active research area
where multiple definitions for the term “creativity” exist. Lacking a
theoretical and algorithmic definition of creativity prevents us from
recreating it in machines. Thus, we intend to present rigorous scientific
advancements in methods, measures, models, algorithms, and theories, that
contribute to the understanding of the interplay between social robots and
creativity research.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributions to this Research Topic are required to provide a clear
definition for the concept of creativity. Additionally, contributions are
expected to discuss how their research contributes to a “common language”
that advances the holistic notion of the concept of creativity across
fields.
