随着传感器和致动器设计、智能计算技术和个人护理机器人技术的进步，今天的机器人有望成为完全互动的、治疗性的人类伴侣。为了实现这一宏伟目标，必须确定关键的交互组件，然后进行系统的设计和评估。基于人-动物治疗的成功，我们提出情感触摸作为这样一个组成部分。以可控机器人的形式提供这种辅助物使我们能够检查其在治疗应用中的功效，例如焦虑管理。基于人类与动物关系的社会认知理论，我们部署了一个社交机器人Haptic Creature，在一个旨在平静的互动中：参与者将机器人放在膝盖上，并在它呼吸时抚摸它。结果，他们的心跳和呼吸率相对于抚摸一个没有呼吸的机器人显着下降。他们还报告自己更平静，更快乐。
With advances in sensor and actuator design, intelligent computing techniques and personal care robotics, today's robots hold promise as fully interactive, therapeutic human companions. To achieve this ambitious goal, key interaction components must be identified and then systematically designed and evaluated. Based on successes of human-animal therapy, we propose affective touch as one such component. Delivering this adjunct in a controllable robot form allows us to examine its efficacy for therapeutic applications such as anxiety management. With an approach grounded in social cognitive theories for human-animal relations, we deployed a social robot, the Haptic Creature, in an interaction designed to be calming: participants held the robot on their laps and stroked it as it was breathing. As a result, their heart and respiration rates significantly decreased relative to stroking a non-breathing robot. They also reported themselves as calmer and happier.
