Curious Whispers: An Embodied Artificial Creative System
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 systems 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 opportunities. This paper introduces the “Curious Whispers” project, an attempt to embody an artificial creative system as a collection of autonomous mobile robots that communicate through simple “songs”. The challenges of developing an autonomous robotic platform suitable for constructing artificial creative systems are discussed. We conclude by examining some of the opportunities of this embodied approach to computational creativity.

Artificial Nature: Immersive World Making
Artificial Nature is a trans-disciplinary research project drawing upon bio-inspired system theories in the production of engaging immersive worlds as art installations. Embodied world making and immersion are identified as key components in an exploration of creative ecosystems toward art-as-it-could-be. A detailed account of the design of a successfully exhibited creative ecosystem is given i...
متن کاملReconstruction of continuous voiced speech from whispers
Whispers are an important secondary vocal communications mechanism that can be necessary for communicating private information and which are an integral aspect of natural human-tohuman dialogue. Furthermore, they may be the primary vocal communications method of those suffering from certain forms of aphonia, such as laryngectomees. This paper considers the conversion of continuous whispers to n...
متن کاملCuriosity driven reinforcement learning for motion planning on humanoids
Most previous work on artificial curiosity (AC) and intrinsic motivation focuses on basic concepts and theory. Experimental results are generally limited to toy scenarios, such as navigation in a simulated maze, or control of a simple mechanical system with one or two degrees of freedom. To study AC in a more realistic setting, we embody a curious agent in the complex iCub humanoid robot. Our n...

A Cooperative Game for Designing/evolving Visual Languages
This paper presents a method for developing specialised visual languages, based on the parlour game Pictorial Chinese Whispers. This is a game which naturally leads to the invention of new representational devices. We adapt it to give a language design game. When played repeatedly, an increasingly sophisticated and reliable representation scheme evolves. The proposed method has several advantag...
