Abstract
Creativity, whether or not it is computational, doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is a situated, embodied activity that is connected with cultural, social, personal and physical contexts. Artificial creative sys- tems are computational models that attempt to capture personal, social and cultural aspects of human creativity. The physical embodiment of artificial creative systems presents significant challenges and opportuni- ties. This paper introduces the “Curious Whispers” project, an attempt to embody an artificial creative system as a collection of autonomous mo- bile robots that communicate through simple “songs”. The challenges of developing an autonomous robotic platform suitable for constructing ar- tificial creative systems are discussed. We conclude by examining some of the opportunities of this embodied approach to computational creativity.
