Manifesting Architectural Subspaces with Two Mobile Robotic Partitions to Facilitate Spontaneous Office Meetings
- 用两台机器人协作构建临时封闭空间，应对突发会议干扰。
- 实验表明机器人能有效缓解视觉与听觉干扰，提升工作专注度。
- 适合关注智能办公、人机交互与空间自适应系统的研究者。
尽管开放式办公布局旨在促进员工自发交流，但难以消除由非计划性面对面或远程会议引发的视觉、听觉及隐私干扰。由于员工通常不会主动划定区域或移动位置以寻求更合适的封闭空间，本文提出可由机器人自动构建这些临时空间。本研究评估了两台受控移动机器人协同构建封闭区域的效果：1）对自发会议造成的干扰进行‘缓解’或‘干预’；2）通过‘手势’或‘空间’方式引导干扰者转移位置。结果表明，机器人可通过动态空间调节，自主平衡个体与多人共享空间中的干扰，为智能办公家具与人机协同设计提供新思路。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Although intended to foster spontaneous interactions among workers, a typical open-plan office layout cannot mitigate visual, acoustic, or privacy-related distractions that originate from unplanned meetings. As office workers often refrain from tackling these issues by manually demarcating or physically relocating to a more suitable subspace that is enclosed by movable partitions, we hypothesise that these subspaces could instead be robotically manifested. This study therefore evaluated the perceived impact of two mobile robotic partitions that were wizarded to jointly manifest an enclosed subspace, to: 1) either `mitigate' or `intervene' in the distractions caused by spontaneous face-to-face or remote meetings; or 2) either `gesturally' or `spatially' nudge a distraction-causing worker to relocate. Our findings suggest how robotic furniture should interact with office workers with and through transient space, and autonomously balance the distractions not only for each individual worker but also for multiple workers sharing the same workspace.
