Abstract

Pets provide important mental support for human beings. Recent advancements in robotics and HRI have led to research and commercial products providing smart solutions to enrich indoor pets' lives. However, most of these products focus on satisfying pets' basic needs, such as feeding and litter cleaning, rather than their mental well-being. In this paper, we present the internet of robotic cat toys, where a group of robotic agents connects to play with our furry friends. Through three iterations, we demonstrate an affordable and flexible design of clip-on robotic agents to transform a static household into an interactive wonderland for pets.

互联网上的机器猫玩具加深感情，提升情绪

宠物为人类提供了重要的精神支持。机器人技术和人力资源研究的最新进展已经导致研究和商业产品提供智能解决方案，丰富室内宠物的生活。然而，这些产品大多专注于满足宠物的基本需求，比如喂养和清理垃圾，而不是它们的心理健康。在本文中，我们提出了机器猫玩具的互联网，其中一组机器人代理连接起来与我们毛茸茸的朋友一起玩。通过三次迭代，我们展示了一种价格合理且灵活的夹式机器人代理设计，可以将静态家庭转变为宠物的互动仙境。

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.
