测试全自主机器人分身在日常生活中的社会接受度与影响
Public Evaluation on Potential Social Impacts of Fully Autonomous Cybernetic Avatars for Physical Support in Daily-Life Environments: Large-Scale Demonstration and Survey at Avatar Land
- 在大阪19天公共活动中展示全自主与半自主分身，实地执行取物任务
- 2285名访客参与，333人反馈：对日常支持感兴趣，但担心任务可靠性
- 成本和拟人交互非主要顾虑，适合关注人机共融的社会研究者
赛博分身（CAs）是实现人机共生社会的关键，使个体通过虚拟代理和机器人助手克服身体局限。尽管半自主分身需间歇性人工遥控与监督，全自主分身的部署仍面临挑战。本研究评估了全自主分身在日常生活物理支持中的公众认知与潜在社会影响。为此，我们在日本大阪举办为期19天的‘分身乐园’公共活动，同步展示全自主与半自主分身，并让其执行日常物品取回任务。共收集2285名访客的互动数据，其中333人完成问卷，分享对全自主分身的感知与担忧。结果显示，公众对分身在日常生活及工作场景的支持持兴趣，但对任务执行可靠性表示关切；而成本与拟人化交互并非主要关注点。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cybernetic avatars (CAs) are key components of an avatar-symbiotic society, enabling individuals to overcome physical limitations through virtual agents and robotic assistants. While semi-autonomous CAs intermittently require human teleoperation and supervision, the deployment of fully autonomous CAs remains a challenge. This study evaluates public perception and potential social impacts of fully autonomous CAs for physical support in daily life. To this end, we conducted a large-scale demonstration and survey during Avatar Land, a 19-day public event in Osaka, Japan, where fully autonomous robotic CAs, alongside semi-autonomous CAs, performed daily object retrieval tasks. Specifically, we analyzed responses from 2,285 visitors who engaged with various CAs, including a subset of 333 participants who interacted with fully autonomous CAs and shared their perceptions and concerns through a survey questionnaire. The survey results indicate interest in CAs for physical support in daily life and at work. However, concerns were raised regarding task execution reliability. In contrast, cost and human-like interaction were not dominant concerns. Project page: https://lotfielhafi.github.io/FACA-Survey/.
