  • 设计一种保留用户自然运动结构的共享控制策略
  • 变异性保留组主观体验更优,自主感显著提升
  • 适合关注人机协作体验与用户自主权的研究者

人类运动天然具有变异性,且这种变异性随任务重要性呈现结构化特征:关键任务节点更稳定,非关键区域更具灵活性。然而,在人机交互中,基于模型的辅助策略通常假设人类行为确定性,抑制了这种变异性,可能改变交互体验并削弱用户的自主感。尽管运动变异性被逐渐视为功能性的,但其在辅助交互中的主动保留及其对用户体验的影响仍研究不足。本文通过实证研究,探讨不同辅助策略如何影响共享控制场景下的人体运动变异性、任务表现与主观交互体验。我们提出一种支持自主性的共享控制策略,旨在保留用户自然的运动结构。在用户实验中,参与者在三种条件下操控智能电动轮椅:无辅助、传统减少变异性辅助、以及变异性保留辅助。尽管关键任务性能在各辅助模式间相当,但保留自然运动变异性显著提升了交互体验,参与者报告更高的感知自主性与使用价值。结果表明,考虑变异性的辅助策略可同时保障性能与用户自主性,强调了设计辅助机器人系统时应尊重人体运动的具身结构,而非将变异性视为需忽略或消除的噪声。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Human movement is inherently variable, with variability structured according to task relevance: movements are typically more consistent at task-critical points and more flexible elsewhere. In human-robot interaction (HRI), however, model-based assistance strategies commonly assume deterministic human behavior and suppress such variability, potentially altering how interactions are experienced and lowering sense of agency. While movement variability is increasingly recognized as functionally meaningful, its deliberate preservation in assisted interaction, and its consequences for user experience, remain underexplored. In this paper, we empirically investigate how different assistance strategies shape human movement variability, task performance, and subjective interaction experience in a shared control setting. We introduce an autonomy-supportive shared control strategy that preserves users' natural movement structure. This approach is evaluated in a user study in which participants push an intelligent powered wheelchair under three conditions: no assistance, conventional variability-reducing assistance, and variability-preserving assistance. While task-relevant performance remained comparable across assisted modes, preserving natural movement variability led to more favorable interaction experiences. In particular, participants reported significantly higher perceived agency compared to conventional assistance and highest perceived usefulness. These findings suggest that variability-aware assistance can support both performance and user autonomy in physical human-robot collaboration. More broadly, the results highlight the importance of designing assistive robotic systems that respect the embodied structure of human movement rather than treating variability as noise to be neglected or eliminated.
