用戏剧排练法让机器人学会表达情感动作
Theatre in the Loop: A Rehearsal-Based, Collaborative Workflow for Expressive Robotic Behaviours
- 导演引导真人操控机器人即兴表演，生成情绪化动作
- 积累可复用的动作模板，支持未来自主演出
- 适合人机协作、艺术表现类机器人研发团队
本文提出一种名为“剧场循环”的框架，通过导演指导的操偶工作流，为艺术表演量身定制具表现力的机器人行为。借助戏剧方法，以叙事目标引导操偶师即兴创作传递特定情绪的机器人动作，这些即兴表演被采集并整理成可重复使用的行为模板，用于未来自主演出。初步实验验证了该方法可行性，展示了其在将机器人动作精准塑造成连贯情感弧线方面的潜力，同时揭示了机械约束带来的挑战。我们认为这一实践导向的框架为跨学科团队开发具有社会表现力的机器人行为提供了范例，推动（1）戏剧作为人机交互的互动训练场，（2）人类与机器协同创作物的方法论。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we propose theatre-in-the-loop, a framework for developing expressive robot behaviours tailored to artistic performance through a director-guided puppeteering workflow. Leveraging theatrical methods, we use narrative objectives to direct a puppeteer in generating improvised robotic gestures that convey specific emotions. These improvisations are captured and curated to build a dataset of reusable movement templates for standalone playback in future autonomous performances. Initial trials demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, illustrating how the workflow enables precise sculpting of robotic gestures into coherent emotional arcs while revealing challenges posed by the robot's mechanical constraints. We argue that this practice-led framework provides a model for interdisciplinary teams creating socially expressive robot behaviours, contributing to (1) theatre as an interactive training ground for human-robot interaction and (2) co-creation methodologies between humans and machines.
