弱机器人用缺陷与可爱激发人机共舞，探索未来城市新可能
Choreographing Trash Cans: On Speculative Futures of Weak Robots in Public Spaces
- 以脆弱、不完整功能设计弱机器人，激发情感与想象互动
- 通过乌托邦与反乌托邦场景，展现不同价值观下的机器人未来
- 适合关注人机协作、未来公共空间设计的学者与设计师
配送生鲜或清洁机场，移动机器人已现身公共场所。本文探讨的并非高效执行任务的机器人，而是通过伪装脆弱、可爱及功能不完整，激发路人不仅从功利角度，更从情感与想象层面参与互动的“弱机器人”。通过解构功能与能力的传统观念，提出两个未来城市中弱机器人的设计虚构场景：一个乌托邦式理想情境，一个反乌托邦式危机情境。这些设想旨在揭示不同价值取向如何影响设计决策，并塑造人类与机器人共处的多元社会技术未来，推动协作型公共空间的构建。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Delivering groceries or cleaning airports, mobile robots exist in public spaces. While these examples showcase robots that execute tasks, this paper explores mobile robots that encourage posthuman collaboration rather than managing environments independently. With feigned fragility, cuteness and incomplete functionalities, the so-called "weak robots" invite passersby to engage not only on a utilitarian level, but also through imaginative and emotional responses. After examining the workings of "weak robots" by queering notions of function and ability, we introduce two speculative design fiction vignettes that describe choreographies of such robots in future urban spaces -- one exploring a utopian weak robot and the other a dystopian weak robot. We introduce these speculations in order to discuss how different values may drive design decisions, and how such decisions may shape and drive different socio-technical futures in which robots and humans share public spaces that incentivise collaboration.
