最近的研究表明，个体之间多感官的身体互动所诱导的具体化如何积极地改变社会态度(亲密度、同理心、种族偏见)。在这里，我们使用一个简单的神经科学启发程序，将我们的人类受试者传输到两个不同的机器人中的一个，并演示这如何容易地增加对该机器人的接受度和社交亲密度。参与者佩戴了一个头戴式显示器，跟踪他们的头部动作，并展示从机器人眼睛拍摄的3D视觉场景，该机器人放置在镜子前，由受试者的头部动作驾驶。结果，参与者认为自己是一个机器人。当参与者和机器人的头部动作相关联时，参与者会感觉到他们以一种代理感融入到机器人中。关键的是，他们所体现的机器人被认为更讨人喜欢，社交更亲近。值得注意的是，我们发现，与头部运动相关的微笑体验以及相应的体验感和社会亲近感，与机器人的人形外观无关。这些发现不仅揭示了通过视觉-运动同步将身体交换到与人类没有任何明显相似之处的机器人是多么容易，而且它们还可能为让我们未来的机器人助手被社会接受铺平了一条新的道路。
Recent studies have shown how embodiment induced by multisensory bodily interactions between individuals can positively change social attitudes (closeness, empathy, racial biases). Here we use a simple neuroscience-inspired procedure to beam our human subjects into one of two distinct robots and demonstrate how this can readily increase acceptability and social closeness to that robot. Participants wore a Head Mounted Display tracking their head movements and displaying the 3D visual scene taken from the eyes of a robot which was positioned in front of a mirror and piloted by the subjects’ head movements. As a result, participants saw themselves as a robot. When participant’ and robot’s head movements were correlated, participants felt that they were incorporated into the robot with a sense of agency. Critically, the robot they embodied was judged more likeable and socially closer. Remarkably, we found that the beaming experience with correlated head movements and corresponding sensation of embodiment and social proximity, was independent of robots’ humanoid’s appearance. These findings not only reveal the ease of body-swapping, via visual-motor synchrony, into robots that do not share any clear human resemblance, but they may also pave a new way to make our future robotic helpers socially acceptable.
