这本专著调查并告知人类与机器人交互中非语言信号的设计和使用。随着机器人越来越多地被用于执行任务，这些任务要求机器人不仅在离人类很近的地方操作，而且还需要与人类互动，因此与这些环境中不同程度的互动相关的沟通挑战引起了人们的极大兴趣。这种互动的成功取决于机器人向位于同一地点的人类传达关于它们的知识、意图和行为的信息的能力。这本专著全面回顾了与非语言信号的产生和使用有关的文献，非语言信号有助于非类人机器人状态和行为的易读性。为了激发对这些信号行为的需求，它综述了人类交流和心理学的文献，并概述了非类人机器人的目标用例。具体地说，重点是提供对认知过程的洞察，使人类能够识别、解释和利用非语言信号的作品。从这些用例中，识别出对非类人机器人发出信号并将其组织成三种机器人状态的潜在重要信息。然后，这本专著回顾了信号设计技术，以说明如何产生和利用传达这一信息的信号。最后讨论了在非语言信号传递过程中必须考虑的问题和开放的研究领域，重点是为面向任务的非类人机器人提供可概括的非语言信号传递行为的设计和使用。
This monograph surveys and informs the design and usage of nonverbal signals for human-robot interaction. With robots increasingly being utilized for tasks that require them to not only operate in close proximity to humans but to interact with them as well, there has been great interest in the communication challenges associated with the varying degrees of interaction in these environments. The success of such interactions depends on robots’ ability to convey information about their knowledge, intent, and actions to co-located humans. The monograph presents a comprehensive review of literature related to the generation and usage of nonverbal signals that facilitate legibility of non-humanoid robot state and behavior. To motivate the need for these signaling behaviors, it surveys literature in human communication and psychology and outlines target use cases of non-humanoid robots. Specifically, the focus is on works that provide insight into the cognitive processes that enable humans to recognize, interpret, and exploit nonverbal signals. From these use cases, information is identified that is potentially important for non-humanoid robots to signal and organize it into three categories of robot state. The monograph then presents a review of signal design techniques to illustrate how signals conveying this information can be generated and utilized. It concludes by discussing issues that must be considered during nonverbal signaling and open research areas, with a focus on informing the design and usage of generalizable nonverbal signaling behaviors for task-oriented non-humanoid robots.
