“…We therefore wanted to investigate whether robots can help in workplace contexts where the main task is related to creative work, design, and decision making. We first discuss a qualitative study examining how humans interact with a decision-making assistance robot, and how they negotiate the physical and creative space that occurs between the human and the robot (Law et al, 2019). Our study revealed psychological challenges that could be applicable to a large number of creative tasks in the workplace.…”

I n this chapter, we discuss challenges for designing robots that interact with people in the workplace. We do so from the perspective of the research field called human-robot interaction (HRI), which studies the engineering methods, design aspects, social issues, and psychological outcomes arising from interacting with robots. The "workplace" in this chapter is defined broadly and can include any of a number of contexts in which robots could work alongside humans, such as factories, supermarkets, offices, care facilities, and construction sites. We do, however, exclude some specialized work environments, which already have humans interacting closely with robots, specifically military, space exploration, and surgery contexts. These settings have been covered at length in the literature. Instead, we discuss workplace settings in which robots are currently rare, but which are considered by the research community as likely future contexts for HRI.

“…The robot's creativity is also explored in various studies. For example, the study of human-robot collaborative design (Law et al, 2019) aims to facilitate creativity of the user and be creative as a robot. Both the robot and the human are playing creative roles in the task.…”

“…The majority of the examples we saw in robotics use interaction patterns to support users' creativity. Robots adopt the role of either a supportive agent that facilitates the user's creativity (Elgarf et al, 2021;Alves-Oliveira et al, 2019) or a creative peer that is collaborating with the user on a creative task (Law et al, 2019;Lin et al, 2020;Hu et al, 2021). In that sense, all of the examples put creative thinking of the user as an aim of the robot.…”

Creativity, in one sense, can be seen as an effort or action to bring novelty. Following this, we explore how a robot can be creative by bringing novelty in a human–robot interaction (HRI) scenario. Studies suggest that proactivity is closely linked with creativity. Proactivity can be defined as acting or interacting by anticipating future needs or actions. This study aims to explore the effect of proactive behavior and the relation of such behaviors to the two aspects of creativity: 1) the perceived creativity observed by the user in the robot’s proactive behavior and 2) creativity of the user by assessing how creativity in HRI can be shaped or influenced by proactivity. We do so by conducting an experimental study, where the robot tries to support the user on the completion of the task regardless of the end result being novel or not and does so by exhibiting anticipatory proactive behaviors. In our study, the robot instantiates a set of verbal communications as proactive robot behavior. To our knowledge, the study is among the first to establish and investigate the relationship between creativity and proactivity in the HRI context, based on user studies. The initial results have indicated a relationship between observed proactivity, creativity, and task achievement. It also provides valuable pointers for further investigation in this domain.
