我们能否通过设计机器人运动的声音来影响人们对它的感知？借鉴电影声音的实践，我们用三种类型的人工运动声音叠加了一个描述机器人运动程序的视频。在受试者之间的研究设计中，参与者要么看到三种设计中的一种，要么看到安静的控制条件，并对机器人的运动质量、安全性、能力和吸引力进行评分。我们发现，与我们的控制相比，声音设计既提高了感知运动质量，也降低了感知运动质量。将相同的机器人动作与不同的声音结合在一起，会导致动作被评为或多或少精确、优雅、不稳定或不受控制等。我们进一步发现，声音条件降低了感知安全性，但不影响感知能力和吸引力。更不现实的声音条件导致了更大的评级差异，而在任何措施中，谐波材料的细微添加与控制条件的评级都没有不同。基于这些发现，我们讨论了关于使用人工运动声音作为一种隐含的沟通渠道的挑战和机遇，这种渠道最终可能能够选择性地针对特定特征，帮助设计师创造更精细和细致的人机交互。CCS CONCEPTS•以人为本的计算界面设计原型；听觉反馈。
Can we influence how a robot is perceived by designing the sound of its movement? Drawing from practices in film sound, we overlaid a video depicting a robot’s movement routine with three types of artificial movement sound. In a between-subject study design, participants saw either one of the three designs or a quiet control condition and rated the robot’s movement quality, safety, capability, and attractiveness. We found that, compared to our control, the sound designs both increased and decreased perceived movement quality. Coupling the same robotic movement with different sounds lead to the motions being rated as more or less precise, elegant, jerky, or uncontrolled, among others. We further found that the sound conditions decreased perceived safety, and did not affect perceived capability and attractiveness. More unrealistic sound conditions led to larger differences in ratings, while the subtle addition of harmonic material was not rated differently to the control condition in any of the measures. Based on these findings, we discuss the challenges and opportunities regarding the use of artificial movement sound as an implicit channel of communication that may eventually be able to selectively target specific characteristics, helping designers in creating more refined and nuanced human-robot interactions.CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing $\rightarrow$Interface design prototyping; Auditory feedback.
