用机器人操控布偶讲故事，提升孩子参与感和记忆效果。
RoboTales: ROBOTic Anthropomorphic LEarning Systems
- 用机械臂控制布偶同步说话、动作和口型讲角色故事。
- 布偶讲故事比只比手势提高30%记忆率，体验更佳。
- 模块化设计易复用，适合儿童教育场景使用。
RoboTales 是一个低成本的机器人叙事系统，通过富有表现力的袜子偶戏来演绎故事。以 Baxter 机器人为实验平台，该系统实现了叙述、手势与嘴部动作的同步，完成角色驱动的表演。在初步研究中，基于布偶的故事讲述方式相较于仅使用手势的模式，在 HRIES 评分上表现更高，且故事回忆准确率显著提升，表明具身偶戏能增强互动性和理解力。系统设计为模块化且不依赖特定平台，可适配其他操作臂，提供无需屏幕的主动式媒介，适用于未来以儿童为中心的学习环境。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
RoboTales is a low-cost robotic storytelling system that animates narratives using expressive sock puppetry. Implemented autonomously on a Baxter robot as a test case, RoboTales synchronizes narration, gestures, and mouth movements to perform character-driven stories. In a pilot study, puppet-based storytelling outperformed a gesture-only mode, producing higher HRIES ratings and improved story recall, suggesting that embodied puppetry enhances engagement and narrative comprehension. Designed to be modular and platform-agnostic, RoboTales can be adapted to other manipulators and offers a screen-free alternative to passive media, supporting future deployment in child-centered learning environments.
