论文摘要
在儿童机器人互动中进行的研究表明，从事社交机器人的“照顾”，例如将机器人塞入晚上，可以加强儿童与机器人之间形成的关系。在这项工作中，我们旨在更好地理解和探索与10名儿童的看护活动的设计空间，其中8--12岁的8-12个家庭涉及探索性设计会议，然后对机器人护理活动进行初步可行性测试。设计课程提供了有关儿童当前的工作任务，如何处理社交机器人的洞察力，以及如何将这些新的照顾活动纳入他们的日常工作中。这项可行性研究测试了两种不同类型的机器人护理任务，我们称之为连接和效用，并测量了它们对儿童对社会机器人的看法和亲密关系的短期影响。我们讨论了针对儿童的机器人护理活动的主题和介绍互动设计指南。
Research in child-robot interactions suggests that engaging in "care-taking" of a social robot, such as tucking the robot in at night, can strengthen relationships formed between children and robots. In this work, we aim to better understand and explore the design space of caretaking activities with 10 children, aged 8--12 from eight families, involving an exploratory design session followed by a preliminary feasibility testing of robot caretaking activities. The design sessions provided insight into children's current caretaking tasks, how they would take care of a social robot, and how these new caretaking activities could be integrated into their daily routines. The feasibility study tested two different types of robot caretaking tasks, which we call connection and utility, and measured their short term effects on children's perceptions of and closeness to the social robot. We discuss the themes and present interaction design guidelines of robot caretaking activities for children.
