About
Maros Pekarik is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, art, and human-computer interaction, exploring how machines can engage in creative expression. His work challenges traditional boundaries between engineering and the arts, focusing on developing robots that entertain, accompany, and inspire. In his highly cited paper "The Robot is Present: Creative Approaches for Artistic Expression With Robots" (2021, 29 citations), Pekarik investigates the hallmarks of human creativity and how these processes might be replicated or assisted by robotic systems. This work has become a touchstone for researchers interested in robotic performance, social robotics, and the aesthetics of human-robot collaboration. By asking fundamental questions about what it means for a machine to be creative, Pekarik contributes to a growing body of research that reimagines robots not just as tools, but as partners in artistic and emotional engagement. His interdisciplinary approach—bridging robotics, psychology, and the arts—offers valuable insights for students and researchers seeking to understand the future of human-robot relationships and the potential for machines to enrich our cultural and emotional lives.
