提案号：CNS07-09077PI(s): Kiesler, Sara B.机构：卡内基梅隆大学匹兹堡分校，PA 15213-3890标题：IAD：人机交互研究实验室项目建议：该项目旨在开发用于研究人机交互的新一代社交机器人，旨在创建机器人和模块化机器人套件，用于研究机器人的社会行为，人机交流中的相互理解，以及助手在群体动力学中的影响。这项研究包括理解和测试人机交互的这三个方面如何独立和交互地影响协同工作的理论，以及研究如何设计辅助机器人来最好地帮助人们在健康和老龄化等领域。旨在激励和测试理论，工作研究。对执行社会任务的机器人行为特征的基础实验室研究，特别是当这些特征反映相似性时；控制实验和现场研究的人际交往和发展的相互理解之间的机器人和人。工作小组中的机器人。为了更好地理解机器人的社会影响，一个多学科团队（机器人、计算机科学、社会心理学、工程学、组织科学、设计）从认知和社会心理学的基础研究，以及机器人、计算机图形学和设计方面的最新研究中汲取并建立起来。该团队寻求在关键环境中理解和设计机器人协同工作的基础，如矿山、医院、有老年人或残疾人的家庭、具有挑战性的科学环境和机器人远程的情况。更广泛的影响：这一发展有助于公众和学生意识到机器人的人性化方面。一个真人大小的机器人将被带到学校用于教育目的。

Proposal #: CNS07-09077PI(s): Kiesler, Sara B. Institution: Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890Title: IAD: Laboratory for Research in Human-Robot InteractionProject Proposed:This project, developing a new generation of social robots for studies in human-robot interaction, aims at creating robots and modular robotics kits to be used to study robot social behavior, mutual understanding in human-robot communication, and the impact of assistants in group dynamics. The research involves understanding and testing theories of how these three aspects of human-robot interaction independently and interactively affect collaborative work and investigating how assistive robots can be designed best to aid people in domains such as health and aging. Designed to motivate and test theories, the work studies . Fundamental laboratory research on behavioral characteristics of robots performing social tasks, especially as these characteristics reflect likeness;. Controlled experiments and field studies of interpersonal communication and development of mutual understanding between robot and human, and. Robots in work groups.Aiming to better understand the societal impact of robots, a multidisciplinary team (robotics, computer science, social psychology, engineering, organization science, design) draws from and builds on basic research in cognitive and social psychology, and on recent research in robotics, computer graphics, and design. The team seeks a foundation for understanding and designing collaborative work with robots in critical environments like mines, hospitals, households with elderly or disabled residents, in challenging scientific settings and in situations in which the robot is remote.Broader Impacts: This development contributes to public and student awareness of the human side of robotics. A life-size robot will be taken to school for educational purposes.
