我们的研究重点是远程操作的机器人作为人际关系的新媒体的社会方面，并探索他们如何能够促进和鼓励人们与他人交往。我们将Telenoid引入小学课堂，观察孩子们对它的反应。我们发现，Telenoid鼓励孩子们合作学习，并促进了与老年痴呆症患者的沟通。儿童自发地区分自己的角色，合作地参与小组活动。在另一堂课上，我们将Telenoid应用于学童和辅助生活居民之间的远程通信。孩子们对继续与老人交谈感到轻松，并积极参与其中。结果表明，有限的功能可以促进参与者之间的合作，不同的实施例可以促进与他人的关联的学习过程，即使是那些不熟悉的。我们提出了一个遥控机器人作为教育工具，以促进社会化。
Our research focuses on the social aspects of teleoperated androids as new media for human relationships and explores how they can contribute and encourage people to associate with others. We introduced Telenoid, a teleoperated android with a minimalistic human design, to elementary school classrooms to see how children respond to it. We found that Telenoid encourages children to work cooperatively and facilitates communication with senior citizens with dementia. Children differentiated their roles spontaneously and cooperatively participated in group work. In another class, we applied Telenoid to remote communication between schoolchildren and assisted living residents. The children felt relaxed about continuing their conversations with the elderly and positively participated in them. The results suggest that limited functionality may facilitate cooperation among participants, and varied embodiments may promote the learning process of the association with others, even those who are unfamiliar. We propose a teleoperated android as an educational tool to promote socialization.
