机器人触觉情感感知受情境影响,视觉线索能主导触感解读。

Situated Haptic Interaction: Exploring the Role of Context in Affective Perception of Robotic Touch

  • 通过视频情境+可穿戴振动装置,研究视觉与触觉对情感判断的交互作用。
  • 75%参与者因视频情绪改变对触觉信号的正负判断,负面触觉强化情绪感知。
  • 适合人机情感交互、具身智能与机器人共情设计的研究者参考。

情感交互不仅是情绪识别,更是一种由情境塑造的具身化过程,通过互动共同构建。在情感计算中,动态情绪交流中的触觉反馈作用仍缺乏探索。本研究考察情境情绪线索如何影响机器人触觉信号的感知与解读。32名参与者观看机器人经历正向(如亲吻)、负向(如拍打)或中性动作的视频,随后机器人通过佩戴于参与者的振动袖套传递情绪响应。参与者根据视频、触觉反馈及两者结合,评估机器人的效价(正/负)和唤醒度(强度)。结果表明,视觉情境与触觉之间存在动态互作:视觉情境常覆盖触觉信号的效价判断;负向触觉增强感知效价,正向触觉则弱化之;触觉甚至能覆盖视频引发的唤醒度感知。这些发现揭示了情境化触觉反馈在提升人机情感交互细腻度方面的潜力,推动更具身体沉浸感的情感通信范式。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Affective interaction is not merely about recognizing emotions; it is an embodied, situated process shaped by context and co-created through interaction. In affective computing, the role of haptic feedback within dynamic emotional exchanges remains underexplored. This study investigates how situational emotional cues influence the perception and interpretation of haptic signals given by a robot. In a controlled experiment, 32 participants watched video scenarios in which a robot experienced either positive actions (such as being kissed), negative actions (such as being slapped) or neutral actions. After each video, the robot conveyed its emotional response through haptic communication, delivered via a wearable vibration sleeve worn by the participant. Participants rated the robot's emotional state-its valence (positive or negative) and arousal (intensity)-based on the video, the haptic feedback, and the combination of the two. The study reveals a dynamic interplay between visual context and touch. Participants' interpretation of haptic feedback was strongly shaped by the emotional context of the video, with visual context often overriding the perceived valence of the haptic signal. Negative haptic cues amplified the perceived valence of the interaction, while positive cues softened it. Furthermore, haptics override the participants' perception of arousal of the video. Together, these results offer insights into how situated haptic feedback can enrich affective human-robot interaction, pointing toward more nuanced and embodied approaches to emotional communication with machines.
