新冠肺炎大流行在全球范围内产生了广泛影响。对保健工作者和他们所服务的弱势群体的重大影响尤其令人关切。近乎完全的封锁一直是减少大流行在寄宿护理设施等环境中传播的一种常见策略。机器人技术是一个很有前途的研究领域，可以帮助减少covid-19的传播，同时也可以防止完全物理隔离的需要。论文中的研究展示了一种语音控制的、自我消毒的机器人，它可以将物品从来访者手中送到护理机构的居民手中。该系统是自动化的，以减轻设施工作人员的负担，并完全通过免提音频交互控制，以减少病毒的传播。我们演示了端到端传输测试，并对语音接口进行了深入评估。我们还记录了两种情况下的语音数据集：说话者戴口罩和说话者不戴口罩。然后我们使用这个数据集来评估语音识别系统。这使我们能够在自主系统的背景下测试面罩对语音识别界面的影响。
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a widespread effect across the globe. The major effect on health-care workers and the vulnerable populations they serve has been of particular concern. Near-complete lockdown has been a common strategy to reduce the spread of the pandemic in environments such as live-in care facilities. Robotics is a promising area of research that can assist in reducing the spread of covid-19, while also preventing the need for complete physical isolation. The research presented in this paper demonstrates a speech-controlled, self-sanitizing robot that enables the delivery of items from a visitor to a resident of a care facility. The system is automated to reduce the burden on facility staff, and it is controlled entirely through hands-free audio interaction in order to reduce transmission of the virus. We demonstrate an end-to-end delivery test, and an in-depth evaluation of the speech interface. We also recorded a speech dataset with two conditions: the talker wearing a face mask and the talker not wearing a face mask. We then used this dataset to evaluate the speech recognition system. This enabled us to test the effect of face masks on speech recognition interfaces in the context of autonomous systems.
