Few would disagree about the importance of creativity in human lives. Science depends on the creative mind. So does the economic viability of nations today. The goal of this grant is to open up a new frontier in human-robot interaction whereby it becomes possible to augment human creativity through human-robot interaction. This possibility could emerge by embedding sophisticated search functions and AI software in a social robot, which then engages in dialog with the user, decides on key terms for a search, filters the results (based on unique and long-standing histories of the user), and decides which results to bring forward at specific junctions in the human-robot dialog. Intellectual Merit: There are four overarching goals: (1) To conceptualize the creativity domain and to generate creativity methods in human-robot interaction. (2) To develop human-robot interaction patterns that set up (a) people's prior social relationships with a social robot such that people are open to creating with the robot, and (b) the interactions with the robot for the creative process itself. (3) Piloting research toward fostering creativity in interaction with ATR's humanoid robot, Robovie. And (4) conducting a formal research study to test new forms of creativity with ATR's humanoid robot, Robovie.Broader Impacts: This research will (1) lead to the mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students; (2) broaden the participation of females in HCI; and (3) promote the transfer of expert knowledge from a leading Japanese laboratory to the United States. More broadly, (4) this new vision for HRI could be transformative insofar as over the next 3-10 years this form of human-robot interaction could provide an entirely new way that people generate new knowledge, and thereby help promote exponential growth in the sciences, as well as in some of the humanities.

很少有人会不同意创造力在人类生活中的重要性。 科学取决于创造性思维。 当今国家的经济活力也是如此。 这笔赠款的目标是开辟人机交互的新领域，从而可以通过人机交互增强人类创造力。 这种可能性可以通过在社交机器人中嵌入复杂的搜索功能和人工智能软件来实现，然后社交机器人与用户进行对话，决定搜索的关键术语，过滤结果（基于用户独特且长期的历史记录），并决定在人机对话的特定连接处提出哪些结果。 智力优点：有四个总体目标：（1）概念化创造力领域并产生人机交互中的创造力方法。 (2) 开发人机交互模式，建立 (a) 人们与社交机器人之间的先前社会关系，以便人们愿意与机器人进行创作，以及 (b) 在创作过程本身中与机器人进行交互。 (3) 试点研究，旨在培养与 ATR 的人形机器人 Robovie 互动时的创造力。 (4) 进行正式研究，以测试 ATR 的人形机器人 Robovie 的新形式创造力。 更广泛的影响：这项研究将 (1) 为本科生和研究生提供指导； (2) 扩大女性对人机交互的参与； (3) 促进日本领先实验室的专家知识向美国的转移。 更广泛地说，(4) HRI 的这一新愿景可能会带来变革，因为在未来 3-10 年内，这种形式的人机交互可以为人们生成新知识提供一种全新的方式，从而有助于促进科学以及某些人文学科的指数级增长。
