• Abstract: We present three robotic art installations which explore the aesthetics of adaptive behavior. Through embodied machine leaning and digital evolution, these works draw viewers into an artificial ecosystem in which open-ended novelty, trial-and-error learning, competition, and cooperation emerge in real time. Research-creation practices are examined in relation to these works, focusing on how they redefine the role of artists within a human-machine collective while examining points of convergence and divergence between artistic and engineering approaches to adaptive robotics. The systems in question use learning and evolutionary processes not as a means to optimize a specific solution, but as an aesthetic experience on its own, suggesting new modes of interdisciplinary art-science research. Finally, we discuss strategies and practices to elevate the aesthetic experience for audiences, including contexts of presentation as well as temporal and material considerations for artworks based on embodied adaptive systems.

  We argue that a fruitful direction for research is engaging large language models in behavioral experiments inspired by psychology. We highlight theoretical perspectives, experimental paradigms, and computational analysis techniques that this approach brings to the table. It paves the way for a "machine psychology" for generative artificial intelligence (AI) that goes beyond performance benchmarks.

• Pathway to Future Symbiotic Creativity [76.20798455931603]
  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.

  The ability to recognize human partners is an important social skill to build personalized and long-term human-robot interactions. Deep learning networks have achieved state-of-the-art results and demonstrated to be suitable tools to address such a task. One solution is to make robots learn from their first-hand sensory data with self-supervision.
