How Robots May Evolve Their Own Language

Summary form only given. Human language and natural dialogue are not based on a set of static conventions. Human languages and interaction patterns evolve, because humans must constantly invent, adapt, and mold their communication systems and conceptualisations of the world in order to cope with an open-ended set of tasks and environments that can often not be constrained or entirely known in advance. Is it possible to endow robots with the necessary cognitive mechanisms and interaction scripts that they would have the same capacities for open-ended communication? In other words, is it possible that robots can be programmed to participate in the creative invention and adaptation of their interfaces with humans or other robots?
