已经证明了使用外观和动作类似于真实人类的机器人进行面试培训的初步功效，用于治疗自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者的社交和沟通困难。患者对机器人外观的偏好对于激励他们接受机器人辅助治疗至关重要。然而，很少有人知道Android机器人的真实性如何与在面试中激励ASD患者有关。在这项研究中，ASD患者接受了一名人类面试官和一名Android机器人的面试。23名ASD患者（年龄，17-25岁）参加了这项研究。面试结束后，参与者根据他们练习与android机器人面试的动机以及他们对android机器人人性的印象进行了评估。正如预期的那样，与人类面试官相比，受试者表现出更高的动机来接受android机器人的面试培训。接受android机器人采访的更高动机与参与者对android机器人表现出的人性程度的印象呈负相关。这项研究使我们更接近于理解如何设计和实现这样一个机器人机器人，以提供足够逼真的面试培训，这可能具有治疗价值。
The preliminary efficacy of interview training using an android robot whose appearance and movements resemble those of an actual human for treating social and communication difficulties in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been demonstrated. Patient preferences regarding the appearance of robots are crucial for incentivizing them to undergo robot-assisted therapy. However, very little is known about how the realistic nature of an android robot is related to incentivizing individuals with ASD in an interview setting. In this study, individuals with ASD underwent an interview with a human interviewer and an android robot. Twenty-three individuals with ASD (age, 17-25 years) participated in this study. After the interview, the participants were evaluated in terms of their motivation to practice an interview with an android robot and their impression of the nature of the android robot in terms of humanness. As expected, subjects exhibited higher motivation to undergo interview training with an android robot than with a human interviewer. Higher motivation to undergo an interview with the android robot was negatively correlated with the participants' impressions of the extent to which the android robot exhibited humanness. This study brings us one step closer to understanding how such an android robot should be designed and implemented to provide sufficiently realistic interview training that can be of therapeutic value.
