人际距离行为在不同国家之间可能存在很大差异，并影响人类社会互动。当互动伙伴之一通过遥控机器人参与时，这些跨文化差异是否会显现出来？新兴研究表明，当机器人接近时，人们往往会持有与接近的人类相似的文化偏好。然而，目前还没有工作从机器人远程操作员的角度研究这个问题。为了回答这个问题，我们使用一种新颖的模拟范式在两个国家（美国和印度）进行了一项在线研究（N = 774）。结果表明，在远程呈现机器人操作员的角色中，参与者在人际距离行为方面表现出跨文化差异，这与人与人的邻近研究相一致，表明特定文化的距离行为可以在机器人操作员控制机器人的方式中体现出来。我们讨论了对寻求自动化遥控机器人路径规划和导航的设计人员的影响。
Interpersonal distance behaviors can vary significantly across countries and impact human social interaction. Do these cross-cultural differences play out when one of the interaction partners participates through a teleoperated robot? Emerging research shows that when being approached by a robot, people tend to hold similar cultural preferences as they would for an approaching human. However, no work yet has investigated this question from a robot teleoperator's perspective. Toward answering this, we conducted an online study (N = 774) using a novel simulation paradigm across two countries (U.S. and India). Results show that in the role of a telepresence robot operator, participants exhibited cross-cultural differences in interpersonal distance behavior in line with human-human proxemic research, indicating that culture-specific distance behavior can manifest in the way a robot operator controls a robot. We discuss implications for designers who seek to automate path planning and navigation for teleoperated robots.
