Abstract

User-centered design applied to non-human animals is showing to be a promising research line known as Animal Computer Interaction (ACI), aimed at improving animals' wellbeing using technology. Within this research line, intelligent systems for animal entertainment could have remarkable benefits for their mental and physical wellbeing, while providing new ways of communication and amusement between humans and animals. In order to create user-centered interactive intelligent systems for animals, we first need to understand how they spontaneously interact with technology, and develop suitable mechanisms to adapt to the animals' observed interactions and preferences. Therefore, this paper describes a pioneer study on cats' preferences and behaviors with different technological devices. It also presents the design and evaluation of a promising depth-based tracking system for the detection of cats' body parts and postures. The contributions of this work lay foundations towards providing a framework for the development of future intelligent systems for animal entertainment.

迈向未来动物互动智能系统:具身互动的研究与识别

应用于非人类动物的以用户为中心的设计显示出一个有前途的研究方向，即动物计算机交互(ACI)，旨在利用技术改善动物的健康。在这条研究路线上，动物娱乐的智能系统可以为它们的身心健康带来显着的好处，同时为人类和动物之间的交流和娱乐提供新的方式。为了为动物创建以用户为中心的交互式智能系统，我们首先需要了解它们如何自发地与技术交互，并开发合适的机制来适应动物观察到的交互和偏好。因此，本文描述了一项关于猫在不同技术设备下的偏好和行为的开创性研究。本文还介绍了一种有前途的基于深度的跟踪系统的设计和评估，用于检测猫的身体部位和姿势。这项工作的贡献为为未来动物娱乐智能系统的发展提供了一个框架奠定了基础。
