63个机器人组成智能便签群,在博物馆引导公众参与创意互动。
Express Yourself: Enabling large-scale public events involving multi-human-swarm interaction for social applications with MOSAIX
- 用63个机器人构成去中心化蜂群,模拟可交互的智能便签。
- 294名观众参与,实时收集并按主题聚合意见,生成动态可视化。
- 首个在真实公共场景实现的大规模多人多机器人协同实验。
机器人蜂群具备支持大规模人群社交任务的潜力,因其可扩展至大量机器人和用户。然而,多用户与多机器人蜂群的交互仍鲜有研究,远少于单用户-单机器人或单用户-多机器人的交互。此外,多数机器人仍局限于实验室环境。本文介绍MOSAIX系统,一个由机器人Tile组成的蜂群,在科学博物馆中辅助创意生成。63个机器人作为智能便签,向公众收集意见并按主题聚合,形成动态可视化工具,有效吸引参观者参与。本工作贡献在于实现了63台机器人与294名参与者的大规模公共活动,采用完全去中心化的蜂群系统,在真实生活场景中运行。同时总结了未来开展公共多用户-多机器人交互研究的关键经验。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robot swarms have the potential to help groups of people with social tasks, given their ability to scale to large numbers of robots and users. Developing multi-human-swarm interaction is therefore crucial to support multiple people interacting with the swarm simultaneously - which is an area that is scarcely researched, unlike single-human, single-robot or single-human, multi-robot interaction. Moreover, most robots are still confined to laboratory settings. In this paper, we present our work with MOSAIX, a swarm of robot Tiles, that facilitated ideation at a science museum. 63 robots were used as a swarm of smart sticky notes, collecting input from the public and aggregating it based on themes, providing an evolving visualization tool that engaged visitors and fostered their participation. Our contribution lies in creating a large-scale (63 robots and 294 attendees) public event, with a completely decentralized swarm system in real-life settings. We also discuss learnings we obtained that might help future researchers create multi-human-swarm interaction with the public.
