Abstract
Bricolage, which French anthropologist Levi-Strauss firstly raised as a primitive style of creative thinking, means making do with limited and available materials and tools at hand to create new things or to solve problems. It is shown that various forms of bricolage can be widely observed in the field of robotics, based on the author's own experience and several examples, i.e., humanoids using servos for radio control models, robots used in Fukushima nuclear disaster, and constructionism theory in robot education. It is emphasized that bricolage plays a key role at practical scenes of creative activities in robotics.
