Abstract

As people's expectations regarding robots are still mostly shaped by the media and Science Fiction, there exists a gap between imaginaries of robots and the state-of-the-art of robotic technologies. Care robots are one example of existing robots that the general public has little awareness about. In this report, we introduce a card-based game prototype developed with the goal to bridge this gap and explore how people conceive of existing care robots as a part of their daily lives. Based on the trial game runs, we conclude that game-based approach is effective as a device to inform participants in a playful setting about existing care robots and to elicit conversations about the role such robots could play in their lives. In the future, we plan to adapt the prototype and create a design game prototype to develop novel use cases for care robots.

弥合差距:使用基于游戏的方法来提高外行人对护理机器人的认识

由于人们对机器人的期望仍然主要是由媒体和科幻小说塑造的，因此机器人的想象与机器人技术的最新水平之间存在差距。护理机器人是公众对现有机器人知之甚少的一个例子。在本报告中，我们介绍了一个基于卡片的游戏原型，旨在弥合这一差距，并探索人们如何将现有的护理机器人视为日常生活的一部分。基于试验游戏的运行，我们得出结论，基于游戏的方法作为一种有效的设备，可以让参与者在一个有趣的环境中了解现有的护理机器人，并引发关于这些机器人在他们生活中可能扮演的角色的对话。在未来，我们计划调整原型并创建一个设计游戏原型，以开发护理机器人的新用例。

期刊介绍： ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI) is a prestigious Gold Open Access journal that aspires to lead the field of human-robot interaction as a top-tier, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication. The journal prioritizes articles that significantly contribute to the current state of the art, enhance overall knowledge, have a broad appeal, and are accessible to a diverse audience. Submissions are expected to meet a high scholarly standard, and authors are encouraged to ensure their research is well-presented, advancing the understanding of human-robot interaction, adding cutting-edge or general insights to the field, or challenging current perspectives in this research domain. THRI warmly invites well-crafted paper submissions from a variety of disciplines, encompassing robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. The scholarly articles published in THRI may cover a range of topics such as the nature of human interactions with robots and robotic technologies, methods to enhance or enable novel forms of interaction, and the societal or organizational impacts of these interactions. The editorial team is also keen on receiving proposals for special issues that focus on specific technical challenges or that apply human-robot interaction research to further areas like social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.
