Abstract

We present a conversational social robot behaviour design that draws from psychotherapy research to support individual self-reflection and wellbeing, without requiring the robot to parse or otherwise understand what the user is saying. This simplicity focused approached enabled us to intersect the well-being aims with privacy and simplicity, while achieving high robustness. We implemented a fully autonomous and standalone (not network enabled) prototype and conducted a proof-of-concept study as an initial step to test the feasibility of our behaviour design: whether people would successfully engage with our simple behaviour and could interact meaningfully with it. We deployed our robot unsupervised for 48 h into the homes of 14 participants. All participants engaged with self-reflection with the robot without reporting any interaction challenges or technical issues. This supports the feasibility of our specific behaviour design, as well as the general viability of our non-parsing simplicity approach to conversation, which we believe to be an exciting avenue for further exploration. Our results thus pave the way for further exploring how conversational behaviour designs like ours may support people living with loneliness.

随你怎么说,我没在听不解析用户语音的对话式自省机器人。
我们介绍了一种会话式社交机器人行为设计,它借鉴了心理治疗研究的方法,以支持个人的自我反思和健康,而不要求机器人解析或以其他方式理解用户所说的话。这种注重简便性的方法使我们能够将幸福感目标与隐私和简便性相融合,同时实现高度鲁棒性。我们实施了一个完全自主、独立(不支持网络)的原型,并进行了概念验证研究,作为测试我们行为设计可行性的第一步:人们是否会成功地参与到我们的简单行为中,并与其进行有意义的互动。我们在无人监督的情况下将机器人放置在 14 位参与者家中 48 小时。所有参与者都与机器人进行了自我反思,没有报告任何互动挑战或技术问题。这证明了我们特定行为设计的可行性,以及我们的非解析简易对话方法的普遍可行性。因此,我们的研究结果为进一步探索像我们这样的对话行为设计如何为孤独患者提供支持铺平了道路。
