Abstract
The Fourth industrial revolution to be successfully implemented requires higher levels of creativity and innovation in the collaboration, design and composition of its cyber-physical building blocks. Powering industry 4.0 by creativity and innovation triggers efforts for better understanding of human creativity concepts and its intersection with cyber-physical systems in industry 4.0. Since computational creativity is an emerging field of research within AI that focuses on theoretical and practical issues in the study of creativity, the goal of this paper is to motivate a discussion about the application of computational creativity to design cyber physical production systems, which are at the core of industry 4.0. The fundamental research question in the paper is about the applicability of computational creativity in an industry 4.0 context.
Highlights
The fourth industrial revolution is the information-intensive transformation of industries in an connected environment of data, people, processes, services, systems and IoT-enabled industrial assets which is looking for a way and mean to realize smart industry ecosystems of industrial innovation and collaboration [1]
The goal of this paper is to motivate a discussion about the application of computational creativity to design cyber physical production systems, which are at the core of industry 4.0
The novelty is proposing that creativity is not a magic but a type of Artificial Intelligence that can emulate the three basic types of human creativity: combinatorial, exploratory, and transformational
Summary
The fourth industrial revolution is the information-intensive transformation of industries in an connected environment of data, people, processes, services, systems and IoT-enabled industrial assets which is looking for a way and mean to realize smart industry ecosystems of industrial innovation and collaboration [1]. The goal of this paper is to motivate a discussion about the application of computational creativity to design cyber physical production systems, which are at the core of industry 4.0. Since CPS involves transdisciplinary approaches, merging theory of cybernetics, mechatronics, collaboration, design and process science [18], creative computation might be crucial in the design of cyber physical production systems to reduce creativity dependency from human stakeholders. This type of CPSs based on creative computation can support agile creative production to increase customer satisfaction and improve extensive integration between customers, companies, and suppliers, and above all sustainable creative economy. To achieve its basic goals industry 4.0 production systems should be basically cyber physical production systems, whose inherent collaborative and complex nature calls for highly creative designs
