社交机器人的一项关键技能是能够将它们的内心状态传达给人类。在本文中，我们探索了抽象的机器人特定的互动方式，作为人类或动物社会线索的替代方案。特别地，我们提出了一个声音系统作为一种新的形式，扩展了机器人的非语言交流能力。与之前使用预先录制的音频样本的工作不同，我们提出了一种灵活的架构，其中包含一个通用的声音合成器，该合成器使用调制原理通过来自机器人或交互的外部和内部刺激实时塑造声音。这为人机交互提供了几乎无限可能的表达性听觉社交提示设计。我们实例化了结构，并报告了声音合成原理、实时合成器、声音调制路由和声音序列编码器的示例设计选择。然后，我们展示了该系统在社交机器人上进行主要和次要情感交流的能力。
A key skill for social robots is the ability to communicate their inner state to humans. In this paper, we explore abstracted robot-specific ways of interaction as an alternative to human-like or animal-like social cues. In particular, we present a sound system as a novel modality that extends a robot's ability for non-verbal communication. Unlike prior work which used pre-recorded audio samples to this end, we propose a flexible architecture with a generalized sound synthesizer that uses the principle of modulation to shape the sound in real-time by external and internal stimuli from the robot or the interaction. This allows for almost unlimited possibilities in the design of an expressive auditory social cue for human-robot interaction. We instantiate the architecture and report on example design choices for the sound synthesis principle, the real-time synthesizer, the sound modulation routings, and a sound sequence composer. We then demonstrate the system's ability for affect communication of primary and secondary emotions on a social robot.
