摘要
本文将着重于建立一个社交事件，在我们的案例研究中，该事件指的是一个模拟与人类用户交互的社交机器人。在一个开放的研究环境中，我们观察到人类用户的交互行为、在场设置和机构归属感向机器人转移，与机器人的不同活动模块并行操作。机器人的活动模式从简单的空转状态，到反应性的刻面状态，最后是交互式遥操作状态。通过将三种类型的活动模式与三种类型的(增加的社交)在场设置-从协同定位、协同在场到最终社交在场-联系起来，我们观察到人类用户交互行为的调制以及对机器人的代理归属的调制。对人类用户向机器人的行为转变的观察使我们假设，对机器人的机构归属感的加强与其社会活动模式的增加以及其社交在场特征的显示是齐头并进的。
Abstract
This paper will focus on the establishment of a social event that refers in our case study to a social android robot simulating interaction with human users. Within an open-field study setting, we observed a shifting of interactive behavior, presence setting and agency ascription by the human users toward the robot, operating in parallel with the robots’ different modulations of activity. The activity modes of the robot range from a simple idling state, to a reactive facetrack condition and finally an interactive teleoperated condition. By relating the three types of activity modes with three types of (increasing social) presence settings—ranging from co-location, to co-presence and finally to social presence—we observed modulations in the human users’ interactive behavior as well as modulations of agency ascription toward the robot. The observations of the behavioral shift in the human users toward the robot lead us to the assumption that a fortification of agency ascription toward the robot goes hand in hand with the increase in its social activity modes as well as its display of social presence features.
