About
Philipp Wicke’s research sits at the compelling intersection of computational storytelling, embodied robotics, and human-robot interaction. His work explores how robots can become creative performers, moving beyond rigid scripts to engage in dynamic, non-verbal storytelling. In his highly cited paper “Interview with the Robot,” Wicke pioneered question-guided collaboration in storytelling systems, demonstrating how robots can co-create narratives with humans. His subsequent work, “The Show Must Go On,” examined the critical roles of embodiment, space, and gesture in computational storytelling, laying groundwork for robots as expressive performers. Wicke’s conceptual framework in “Creative Action at a Distance” advanced the theory of embodied performance with robotic actors, exploring how robots can improvise in stand-up, dance, and acting. More recently, he has investigated spatial schema intuitions in large language and vision models, bridging the gap between disembodied AI and physical robotic systems. With over 30 citations across his most influential works, Wicke’s contributions are shaping how we think about robots not just as tools, but as creative collaborators capable of nuanced, embodied interaction.
