Abstract

Animal Computer Interaction (ACI) aims to design user-centered interactions between animals and technology. In this regard, a major challenge for researchers is accurately assessing and interpreting animal behavior, in part, due to the invasive nature of data collection techniques and to the individuality of behavior. This paper presents a method that uses tail wagging, a communicative behavior in dogs used in animal behavior and welfare studies, as a non-invasive parameter used to measure canine user experience (UX). We present findings from a study based on an observational analysis of three mobility assistance dogs' tail wagging behaviors and canine personality scores. The findings show tail wagging is a communicative indicator, that the manner in which the tail is wagged correlates to personality, and that tail wagging provides a baseline to assess canine UX. A tail wagging ethogram was used as an evaluative tool for measuring canine UX during task training.
以用户为中心的设计方法来测量狗的行为:摇尾巴作为衡量用户体验
动物计算机交互(ACI)旨在设计动物与技术之间以用户为中心的交互。在这方面,研究人员面临的一个主要挑战是准确地评估和解释动物的行为,部分原因是数据收集技术的侵入性和行为的个性。本文提出了一种方法,使用摇尾,在动物行为和福利研究中使用的狗的交流行为,作为一种非侵入性参数,用于测量狗的用户体验(UX)。我们提出了一项基于观察分析的研究结果,该研究对三只行动辅助犬的摇尾行为和犬的个性评分进行了分析。研究结果表明,摇尾巴是一种交流指标,摇尾巴的方式与性格有关,摇尾巴为评估狗的用户体验提供了一个基线。在任务训练中,用摇尾曲线图作为衡量犬UX的评估工具。
