ABSTRACT
Robots extend beyond the tools of productivity; they also contribute to creativity. While typically defined as utility-driven technologies designed for productive or social settings, role robots in creative settings remains underexplored. This paper examines how participate artistic creation. Through semi-structured interviews with robotic artists, we analyze impact on processes and outcomes. We identify critical roles interaction, material properties, temporal dynamics facilitating Our findings reveal that creativity emerges from co-constitution robots, audiences within spatial-temporal dimensions. Based these insights, propose several implications socially informed, material-attentive, process-oriented approaches creation computing systems. These can inform domains HCI, including media art creation, craft, digital fabrication, tangible computing.
