用大模型生成触觉振动,让机器人能通过触摸传递情绪。

Touched by ChatGPT: Using an LLM to Drive Affective Tactile Interaction

  • 用大模型生成10种情绪和6种手势的振动模式
  • 32人实验表明触觉信号可准确传达情绪
  • 适合人机交互、情感计算研究者参考

触觉是富有情感交流的基础,对人际互动及人机交互具有重要意义。以往研究显示,稀疏的触觉表征可有效传递社交触觉信号。然而,由于许多类人机器人能力有限(如仅能开合手掌),人机触觉交互进展缓慢。本研究探索如何利用触觉振动的稀疏表示向人类传达情绪。我们设计了一款集成5x5振动马达阵列的可穿戴袖套,使机器人能够传递多样化的触觉情绪与动作。通过在大型语言模型(LLM)中使用链式提示,生成对应10种情绪(如快乐、悲伤、恐惧)和6种触碰动作(如轻拍、揉搓、轻敲)的10秒振动模式。共32名参与者对每种振动刺激进行情绪效价与唤醒度评估。结果表明,人们能准确识别预期情绪,与先前研究一致。该结果凸显了LLM生成情感触觉数据并有效传达情绪的能力。本研究展示了将复杂情感与触觉表达转化为振动模式的可行性,为提升人机物理交互提供了新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Touch is a fundamental aspect of emotion-rich communication, playing a vital role in human interaction and offering significant potential in human-robot interaction. Previous research has demonstrated that a sparse representation of human touch can effectively convey social tactile signals. However, advances in human-robot tactile interaction remain limited, as many humanoid robots possess simplistic capabilities, such as only opening and closing their hands, restricting nuanced tactile expressions. In this study, we explore how a robot can use sparse representations of tactile vibrations to convey emotions to a person. To achieve this, we developed a wearable sleeve integrated with a 5x5 grid of vibration motors, enabling the robot to communicate diverse tactile emotions and gestures. Using chain prompts within a Large Language Model (LLM), we generated distinct 10-second vibration patterns corresponding to 10 emotions (e.g., happiness, sadness, fear) and 6 touch gestures (e.g., pat, rub, tap). Participants (N = 32) then rated each vibration stimulus based on perceived valence and arousal. People are accurate at recognising intended emotions, a result which aligns with earlier findings. These results highlight the LLM's ability to generate emotional haptic data and effectively convey emotions through tactile signals. By translating complex emotional and tactile expressions into vibratory patterns, this research demonstrates how LLMs can enhance physical interaction between humans and robots.
