Abstract

While interacting with a social robot, children have a need to express themselves and have their expressions acknowledged by the robot. A need that is often unaddressed by the robot, due to its limitations in understanding the expressions of children. To keep the child-robot interaction manageable the robot takes control, undermining children’s ability to co-regulate the interaction. Co-regulation is important for having a fulfilling social interaction. We developed a co-creation activity that aims to facilitate more co-regulation. Children are enabled to create sound effects, gestures, and light animations for the robot to use during their conversation. A crucial additional feature is that children are able to coordinate their involvement of the co-creation process. Results from a user study (N = 59 school children, 7-11 y.o.) showed that the co-creation activity successfully facilitated co-regulation by improving children’s agency. It also positively affected the acceptance of the robot. We furthermore identified five distinct profiles detailing the different needs and motivations children have for the level of involvement they chose during the co-creation process.

需要两个:利用共同创造促进儿童-机器人的共同监管
在与社交机器人互动的过程中,孩子们需要表达自己,并让机器人认可他们的表达。由于机器人在理解儿童表情方面的局限性,它常常无法满足这一需求。为了让孩子和机器人之间的互动易于管理,机器人就会控制,从而削弱了孩子们共同调节互动的能力。共同调节对于实现令人满意的社会互动非常重要。我们开发了一个共同创造活动,旨在促进更多的共同监管。孩子们可以为机器人创造声音效果、手势和灯光动画,以便在他们交谈时使用。一个重要的附加特征是,孩子们能够协调他们参与共同创造过程。一项用户研究(N = 59名7-11岁的学童)的结果表明,共同创造活动通过提高儿童的能动性成功地促进了共同调节。这也对机器人的接受度产生了积极影响。我们进一步确定了五种不同的概况,详细说明了儿童在共同创造过程中选择的参与程度的不同需求和动机。

期刊介绍: ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI) is a prestigious Gold Open Access journal that aspires to lead the field of human-robot interaction as a top-tier, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication. The journal prioritizes articles that significantly contribute to the current state of the art, enhance overall knowledge, have a broad appeal, and are accessible to a diverse audience. Submissions are expected to meet a high scholarly standard, and authors are encouraged to ensure their research is well-presented, advancing the understanding of human-robot interaction, adding cutting-edge or general insights to the field, or challenging current perspectives in this research domain. THRI warmly invites well-crafted paper submissions from a variety of disciplines, encompassing robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. The scholarly articles published in THRI may cover a range of topics such as the nature of human interactions with robots and robotic technologies, methods to enhance or enable novel forms of interaction, and the societal or organizational impacts of these interactions. The editorial team is also keen on receiving proposals for special issues that focus on specific technical challenges or that apply human-robot interaction research to further areas like social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.
