[Synapse elist] Artificial Creativity

[Leonel Moura]

Hi all,
since I have started working with cellular automata, ant algorithms, 
swarm intelligence
and later robotics my main purpose was to produce an Artificial 
Creativity (AC)
in a similar sense as we talk about an Artificial Intelligence.
That is the capacity of a machine or a robot to generate an original
"aesthetical expression" with a minimum of human intervention.

Robots are for that matter one of the best choices, as they evolve in 
the physical world,
and, more important, they can gather directly from the environment 
the data needed
to perform such a task. This ability helps to take the "human out of 
the loop".
Critical condition if we want to speak about true AC or even true AI.

In this perspective RAP (the Robotic Action Painter) is a good example:
