Abstract

Wearable robots can maintain physical contact with the user and interact with them to assist in daily life. However, since most wearable robots operate at a single point on the user's body, the user must be constantly aware of their presence. This imposes a burden on the user, both physically and mentally, and prevents them from wearing the robot daily. One solution to this problem is for the robot to move around the user's body. When the user does not interact with the robot, it can move to an unobtrusive position and attract less attention from the user. This research aims to develop a wearable robot that reduces the burden by developing an arm movement mechanism for wearable robots and a self-localization method for autonomous movement and helps the user's daily life by providing supportive interactions.

一种可穿戴机器人的开发，它可以在手臂上移动，以支持用户的日常生活

可穿戴机器人可以与用户保持身体接触，并与用户互动，协助日常生活。然而，由于大多数可穿戴机器人在用户身体上的一个点上操作，用户必须时刻意识到它们的存在。这给使用者带来了身体和精神上的负担，使他们无法每天佩戴机器人。解决这个问题的一个办法是让机器人绕着用户的身体移动。当用户不与机器人互动时，机器人可以移动到一个不显眼的位置，从而减少用户的注意力。本研究旨在开发可穿戴机器人，通过开发可穿戴机器人的手臂运动机构和自主运动的自我定位方法来减轻负担，并通过提供支持性交互来帮助用户的日常生活。

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.
