社会机器人学家设计他们的机器人作为与人类和其他机器人互动的社会代理。虽然我们不否认，机器人的设计特点是实现这一目标的关键，我们指出的空间组织和协调之间的机器人和人类谁与它互动的相关性。我们恢复这些互动通过社会机器人实验室的观察性研究，并通过应用多模态intermittent分析机器人实践的两个时刻来检查它们。我们描述的机器人专家和一组的preverbal婴儿，谁参与了机器人的设计活动的重要作用，我们认为，机器人的社会性格是内在相关的微妙的人类interpersonal移动在实验室的社会机器人。人类对机器人社会机构的参与不仅仅是由个人意志控制的。相反，人机耦合是机器人所处的情境动态所要求的。
Social roboticists design their robots to function as social agents in interaction with humans and other robots. Although we do not deny that the robot’s design features are crucial for attaining this aim, we point to the relevance of spatial organization and coordination between the robot and the humans who interact with it. We recover these interactions through an observational study of a social robotics laboratory and examine them by applying a multimodal interactional analysis to two moments of robotics practice. We describe the vital role of roboticists and of the group of preverbal infants, who are involved in a robot’s design activity, and we argue that the robot’s social character is intrinsically related to the subtleties of human interactional moves in laboratories of social robotics. This human involvement in the robot’s social agency is not simply controlled by individual will. Instead, the human–machine couplings are demanded by the situational dynamics in which the robot is lodged.
