Socially assistive robots could help to support people's well-being incontexts such as art therapy where human therapists are scarce, by making artsuch as paintings together with people in a way that is emotionally contingentand creative. However, current art-making robots are typically eithercontingent, controlled as a tool by a human artist, or creative, programmed topaint independently, possibly because some complex and idiosyncratic conceptsrelated to art, such as emotion and creativity, are not yet well understood.For example, the role of personalized taste in forming beauty evaluations hasbeen studied in empirical aesthetics, but how to generate art that appears toan individual to express certain emotions such as happiness or sadness is lessclear. In the current article, a collaborative prototyping/Wizard of Ozapproach was used to explore generic robot art-making strategies andpersonalization of art via an open-ended emotion profile intended to identifytricky concepts. As a result of conducting an exploratory user study,participants indicated some preference for a robot art-making strategyinvolving "visual metaphors" to balance exogenous and endogenous components,and personalized representational sketches were reported to convey emotion moreclearly than generic sketches. The article closes by discussing personalizedabstract art as well as suggestions for richer art-making strategies and usermodels. Thus, the main conceptual advance of the current work lies insuggesting how an interactive robot can visually express emotions throughpersonalized art; the general aim is that this could help to inform next stepsin this promising area and facilitate technological acceptance of robots ineveryday human environments.
