Robotic Creativity Driven by Motivation and Semantic Analysis

摘要

The paper proposes a system architecture for artificial creativity that enables a robot to perform portraits. The proposed cognitive architecture is inspired by the PSI model, and it requires that the motivation of the robot in the execution of its tasks is influenced by urges. Such parameters depend on both internal and external evaluation mechanisms. The system is a premise for the development of an artificial artist able to develop a personality and a behavior that depends on its experience of successes and failures (competence), and the availability of different painting techniques (certainty). The creative execution is driven by the motivation arising from the urges, and the perception of the work being executed or performed. The external evaluation is obtained by analyzing the opinions expressed in natural language from people watching the realized portrait.
