Abstract

In this paper the nexus between fictional and real robots in Human Robot Interaction (HRI) is explored. We claim that design guidelines for HRI must not be borrowed from fiction blindly, as contradictions between the two may emerge with respect to what is desired by the human user. To understand human perception of robots appearing in movies we analyse viewing statistics and qualitative comments of a set of YouTube videos comprising of fictional and real robots. Analysis of the viewing statistics showed that real robots are more popular. Furthermore, analysis of the comments showed that two real robots (Nao and Shakey) generated significantly more positive comments and significantly more attributions of usage in human society as compared to the two fictional robots (AstroBoy and HAL9000). Based on the sample of robots considered in this research, our results reveal that contrary to expectation humans are more exposed to real robots and are more preferred, and we conclude by reasserting the contradiction that emerges between real and fictional robots.

使用视频偏好来理解人类对真实和虚构机器人的感知

本文探讨了人机交互(HRI)中虚拟机器人与真实机器人之间的联系。我们认为，HRI的设计指南不能盲目地从小说中借鉴，因为两者之间的矛盾可能会在人类用户的期望方面出现。为了理解人类对出现在电影中的机器人的感知，我们分析了一组由虚构和真实机器人组成的YouTube视频的观看统计和定性评论。对观看数据的分析表明，真正的机器人更受欢迎。此外，对评论的分析表明，与两个虚构的机器人(阿童木和HAL9000)相比，两个真实的机器人(Nao和Shakey)产生了更多的积极评论，并在人类社会中使用了更多的属性。基于本研究中考虑的机器人样本，我们的研究结果显示，与预期相反，人类更多地接触到真实的机器人，并且更受青睐，我们通过重申真实机器人和虚构机器人之间出现的矛盾来得出结论。
