我们研究非人类外观的人形机器人手臂是否可以被视为自己身体的一部分。在随后的两个实验中，当与真实手臂同步抚摸时，参与者体验到了具有蓝色末端执行器且没有手指的机械臂（实验 1）和末端带有夹具的机械臂（实验 2）的高水平体现。体现水平明显高于相应的异步条件，并且与报告的拟人手臂相似。此外，我们发现视觉运动同步也引发了机器人手臂的具体化，并且当机器人手被蓝色塑料盖覆盖时，该具体化甚至部分得以维持。我们的结论是，人类能够对非人类外观的机器人手臂体验到强烈的体现感。结果对与机器人实施例相关的领域具有重要意义。
We examine whether non-human looking humanoid robot arms can be perceived as part of one's own body. In two subsequent experiments, participants experienced high levels of embodiment of a robotic arm that had a blue end effector with no fingers (Experiment 1) and of a robotic arm that ended with a gripper (Experiment 2) when it was stroked synchronously with the real arm. Levels of embodiment were significantly higher than the corresponding asynchronous condition and similar to those reported for a human-looking arm. Additionally, we found that visuo-movement synchronization also induced embodiment of the robot arm and that embodiment was even partially maintained when the robot hand was covered with a blue plastic cover. We conclude that humans are able to experience a strong sense of embodiment towards non-human looking robot arms. The results have important implications for the domains related to robotic embodiment.
