New article: Boosting Children’s Creativity through Creative Interactions with Social Robots

Article:  Alves-Oliveira, P; Arriaga, P; Hoffman, G; Paiva, A; “Boosting Children’s Creativity through Creative Interactions with Social Robots”, 2016 11th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction:591-592

Abstract:  Creativity is one of the most important and pervasive of all human abilities. However, it seems to decline during school age years, in a phenomenon entitled “creative crisis”. As developed societies are shifting from an industrialized economy to a creative economy, there is a need to support creative abilities through life. With this work, we aim to use social robots as boosters for creative-driven behaviors with children.
