VIDEO SUBMISSION DUE: Nov 10, 2020 (midnight Pacific Ttime)
Workshop: November 14 and 15, 2020

We invite papers that target creativity, robotics and the arts, design, and engineering-related challenges: including new algorithms, systems, methodology, datasets, evaluations, surveys, reproduced results, and negative results.

Contributions to this workshop 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.

Topics of interest for all kinds of submissions include, but are not limited to:

  • Algorithms to simulate creativity in social robots
  • Curiosity in social robots
  • Creativity applications of social robots, including educational, healthcare, in-home, entertainment, among others
  • Humor and jokes in social robots
  • Long-term creativity between humans and robots
  • Creative content generation in robots
  • Outcomes of interaction with a creative robot
  • Human perception of creative robots
  • Artistic applications of robots reporting creativity outcomes, including poetry, music, design, visual arts, performances
  • Creativity as domain-specific or a domain-general in social robots
  • Computational creativity for social robots
  • Group versus individual creativity in human-robot interaction
  • Creativity measurement in human-robot interaction
  • Co-creation with social robots
  • Robot embodiments and aesthetics for creativity fostering
  • Creative process versus creative outcome
  • Measuring human experiences in creating with robots
  • Identifying key aspects of human creativity for machine design

Submission Requirements

Submissions to Creativity and Robotics Workshop at ICSR 2020 are limited to 6 pages of content (minimum 4 pages), but may contain an unlimited number of pages for references and appendices. The latter may not necessarily be read by the reviewers. We request and recommend that authors rely on the supplementary material only to include minor details that do not fit in the 6 pages. The submission process is double-blind. All submissions must be formatted with LaTeX using the ICSR 2020 paper format

Submission: Email paper to creativity.robotics@gmail.com

We welcome articles currently under review or papers planned for publication elsewhere. However, papers that have been published at another archival conference should not be submitted. Accepted papers will be published on the Creativity and Robotics homepage, but are to be considered non-archival.
