研究人类在人机协作中如何感知概率,发现不同人的应对策略差异大。
Prospect Theory in Physical Human-Robot Interaction: A Pilot Study of Probability Perception
- 通过改变机器人干扰概率(10%~90%)测试人类反应
- 发现两类行为模式:权衡型与始终防御型
- 建议用前景理论改进机器人自适应控制设计
理解人类对不确定性的响应对设计安全有效的人机物理交互(pHRI)至关重要,因协作中存在信任、舒适度和感知安全等多重不确定性。传统pHRI控制框架基于最优控制理论,假设人类行为最小化成本函数;但人类在不确定性下的行为常偏离此最优模式。本初步研究实施了物理耦合的目标到达任务,机器人以10%至90%的系统性概率提供协助或干扰。分析参与者力输入与决策策略发现两种明显行为聚类:一类为‘权衡’组,其物理响应随干扰概率变化;另一类为‘始终补偿’组,表现出强烈风险规避,不受概率影响。结果表明,人类在pHRI中的决策高度个体化,且对概率的感知可能偏离真实值。因此,研究强调需采用更具可解释性的行为模型,如累积前景理论(CPT),以更准确捕捉此类行为,并指导未来自适应机器人控制器的设计。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding how humans respond to uncertainty is critical for designing safe and effective physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), as physically working with robots introduces multiple sources of uncertainty, including trust, comfort, and perceived safety. Conventional pHRI control frameworks typically build on optimal control theory, which assumes that human actions minimize a cost function; however, human behavior under uncertainty often departs from such optimal patterns. To address this gap, additional understanding of human behavior under uncertainty is needed. This pilot study implemented a physically coupled target-reaching task in which the robot delivered assistance or disturbances with systematically varied probabilities (10\% to 90\%). Analysis of participants' force inputs and decision-making strategies revealed two distinct behavioral clusters: a "trade-off" group that modulated their physical responses according to disturbance likelihood, and an "always-compensate" group characterized by strong risk aversion irrespective of probability. These findings provide empirical evidence that human decision-making in pHRI is highly individualized and that the perception of probability can differ to its true value. Accordingly, the study highlights the need for more interpretable behavioral models, such as cumulative prospect theory (CPT), to more accurately capture these behaviors and inform the design of future adaptive robot controllers.
