This is a project to understand and test theories of how three aspects of human-robot interaction independently and interactively affect collaborative work: robot social behavior, mutual understanding in human-robot communication, and the impact of robotic assistants on group dynamics. With advances in computing technology and artificial intelligence, autonomous robots are becoming viable in such critical domains as search and rescue, military battle, mine and bomb detection, scientific exploration, law enforcement, and hospital care. Robotic assistants ranging from museum guides to forestry scouts are being developed to interact with people "in person" or remotely, as agents that collaborate with the work team. This project is targeted at little understood but critical aspects of robot-supported collaborative work. The research involves three kinds of studies: (1) fundamental laboratory research on behavioral characteristics of robots performing social tasks, especially as these characteristics reflect lifelikeness, (2) controlled experiments and field studies of interpersonal communication and the development of mutual understanding between robot and human, and (3) studies of robots in work groups. The studies are designed to motivate and test theory, as well as to explore both direct and secondary or indirect social effects of robot-supported collaborative work. The fieldwork will be carried out in hospitals and scientific exploration settings. This research will advance our understanding of the possibilities and problems of mutual adaptation in human-robot interaction over time, and will help us anticipate changes in the group dynamics of collaborative work. It also will extend our basic knowledge of communication and group dynamics in environments that incorporate robotic technology. It will improve our ability to make principled design decisions about robots that work with people, and better understand the societal impact of robots. In particular, this research will give us 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. The work also will contribute to public and student awareness of the human side of robotics, and help motivate students' interests in science and engineering.

这是一个项目，旨在了解和测试人类机器人互动的三个方面如何独立和交互影响协作工作：机器人的社会行为，人类机器人交流中的相互理解以及机器人助手对群体动力学的影响。 随着计算技术和人工智能的进步，自动驾驶机器人在搜索和救援，军事战，矿山和炸弹检测，科学勘探，执法和医院护理等关键领域变得可行。从博物馆指南到林业侦察兵的机器人助手正在与“亲自”或远程互动的人互动，就像与工作团队合作的代理商互动。该项目的目标是对机器人支持的协作工作的了解，但关键方面的目标是。该研究涉及三种研究：（1）关于执行社会任务的机器人行为特征的基本实验室研究，尤其是当这些特征反映了终身性时，（2）对人际交流的受控实验和现场研究以及机器人和人之间相互理解的发展，以及（3）工作组机器人研究的研究。这些研究旨在激励和测试理论，并探讨机器人支持的协作工作的直接和次要或间接社会影响。现场工作将在医院和科学探索环境中进行。这项研究将促进我们对随着时间的流逝相互作用中相互适应的可能性和问题的理解，并将帮助我们预测协作工作的群体动态变化。它还将扩展我们对结合机器人技术的环境中的沟通和群体动态的基本知识。 它将提高我们对与人合作的机器人做出原则设计决策的能力，并更好地了解机器人的社会影响。特别是，这项研究将为我们奠定基础，以理解和设计与矿山，医院，具有老年人或残疾居民的家庭，具有挑战性的科学环境以及机器人遥不可及的情况下的机器人的合作工作。这项工作还将有助于公众对机器人技术的意识，并有助于激发学生对科学和工程学的兴趣。
