研究人如何纠正洗衣机器人出错时的沟通方式。

Human strategies for correcting `human-robot' errors during a laundry sorting task

  • 通过42人实验观察自然语言与手势反应模式。
  • 错误后常见策略包括纠正、承担责任和表达不满。
  • 机器人外观与能力影响预期,导致沟通困难。

为改善家用机器人与人类的协作沟通,本研究通过42名参与者使用自然语言和手势指令Laundrobot完成洗衣分类任务,考察其在无错误或两种错误模式下的交互行为。视频分析发现,错误发生时,参与者常出现笑声、口头表达、填充词(如“哦”“好”)以及面部触碰、静态手指指物、惊讶表情等身体动作。应对策略包括纠正与教学、主动担责及情绪化表达;随着接触增多,反应强度减弱,可能反映接受或放弃。部分参与者采用与智能助手类似的沟通方式。机器人外观、形态、语音、能力及恢复策略影响了用户预期,部分人认为其实际能力与预期不符,难以判断理解程度。个体差异如专业水平、性格和文化背景可能影响反应,但未纳入评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Mental models and expectations underlying human-human interaction (HHI) inform human-robot interaction (HRI) with domestic robots. To ease collaborative home tasks by improving domestic robot speech and behaviours for human-robot communication, we designed a study to understand how people communicated when failure occurs. To identify patterns of natural communication, particularly in response to robotic failures, participants instructed Laundrobot to move laundry into baskets using natural language and gestures. Laundrobot either worked error-free, or in one of two error modes. Participants were not advised Laundrobot would be a human actor, nor given information about error modes. Video analysis from 42 participants found speech patterns, included laughter, verbal expressions, and filler words, such as ``oh'' and ``ok'', also, sequences of body movements, including touching one's own face, increased pointing with a static finger, and expressions of surprise. Common strategies deployed when errors occurred, included correcting and teaching, taking responsibility, and displays of frustration. The strength of reaction to errors diminished with exposure, possibly indicating acceptance or resignation. Some used strategies similar to those used to communicate with other technologies, such as smart assistants. An anthropomorphic robot may not be ideally suited to this kind of task. Laundrobot's appearance, morphology, voice, capabilities, and recovery strategies may have impacted how it was perceived. Some participants indicated Laundrobot's actual skills were not aligned with expectations; this made it difficult to know what to expect and how much Laundrobot understood. Expertise, personality, and cultural differences may affect responses, however these were not assessed.
