随着机器人技术的进步创造了能够部署在家庭中的强大技术，设计在塑造机器人如何以可访问、适当和引人注目的方式进行体验方面发挥了重要作用。设计师的造型技术任务从根本上讲是与形式的创造有关的。形态是产品的总体表现，包括物理形态、材料和行为品质。在创造形式时，设计平衡了人的需求、技术的能力以及支持一项活动或行动的使用环境。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了Hug，这是一种对机器人产品形式的概念性设计探索，可以促进远距离的亲密交流。我们通过Hug和其他机器人产品讨论了形式在构建有意义的关系中的作用。
As advances in robotics create robust technology capable of being deployed in the home, design serves an important role shaping how robots will be experienced in accessible, appropriate, and compelling manners. The designer's task of shaping technology is fundamentally concerned with the creation of form. Form is the total expression of a product, including physical shape, materials, and behavioral qualities. In creating form, design balances the needs of people, the capabilities of technology, and the context of use to support an activity or action. In this paper we present The Hug, a conceptual design exploration of form for a robotic product that facilitates intimate communication across distance. We discuss the role of form in constructing meaningful relationships through The Hug and other robotic products.
