Can Children Emulate a Robotic Non-Player Character’s Figural Creativity?
summary
Built a collaborative drawing game Magic Draw that pairs children (ages 5–10) with an emotive social robot using the generative model sketchRNN to convert scribbles into objects. A randomized study with 78 participants compares a non-creative control and a creative robot; the creative robot condition yields significantly higher figural creativity scores and increases children’s creative contributions, showing autonomous NPC creative demonstration reliably elicits social emulation.
