The goal of this project is to gain a deeper understanding of mobile remote presence systems (MRPs) and to create guidelines for their effective design, development, and adaptation into organizational use. MRP systems enable embodied mediated communication in which individuals at a remote location connect to a local robot that is used to physically navigate in the local environment and to interact with local users via audio and video. MRP systems allow remote users to visit individuals in an organization and attend group meetings, seminars, and social gatherings in the local environment. MRPs enable new forms of interactions and offer remote users an improved sense of presence compared with stationary video-conferencing systems. The project will study the use of MRPs in communication from an interdisciplinary approach drawing from and building on knowledge and methods from design, social and cognitive psychology, communication studies, and computer science. A series of field and laboratory studies will focus on four topics: (a) how remote users present themselves through MRPs; (b) how local users perceive remote users; (c) the role that social cues play in embodied mediated communication; and (d) the social and organizational outcomes of embodied mediated communication. Intellectual merit: The project will advance understanding of the role of embodiment in mediated communication in collaborative work and inform the design of future mobile remote presence systems. In addition, the results will contribute to basic science in human-computer and human-robot interaction. Broader impact: The results will enable more effective embodied mediated communication in organizations, thereby improving collaboration in distributed work groups. The results will also inform the development of tools that help individuals with mobility-related disabilities interact with their social and professional communities. In addition, the project will enhance the undergraduate and graduate curriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and there will be an outreach program to disperse interdisciplinary knowledge in and methods for designing robotic technology into K-12 education through an annual summer camp and biannual daylong workshops.

该项目的目标是更深入地了解移动远程呈现系统 (MRP)，并为其有效设计、开发和适应组织使用创建指南。 MRP 系统实现了具体的中介通信，其中远程位置的个人连接到本地机器人，该机器人用于在本地环境中进行物理导航并通过音频和视频与本地用户交互。 MRP 系统允许远程用户访问组织中的个人并参加本地环境中的小组会议、研讨会和社交聚会。与固定视频会议系统相比，MRP 支持新的交互形式，并为远程用户提供更好的临场感。该项目将从设计、社会和认知心理学、传播研究和计算机科学的知识和方法中汲取并构建跨学科方法，研究 MRP 在传播中的使用。一系列现场和实验室研究将集中于四个主题：(a) 远程用户如何通过 MRP 展示自己； (b) 本地用户如何看待远程用户； (c) 社会线索在具身中介沟通中发挥的作用； (d) 具身中介传播的社会和组织成果。智力价值：该项目将促进对协作工作中中介通信中体现作用的理解，并为未来移动远程呈现系统的设计提供信息。此外，研究结果还将有助于人机和人机交互的基础科学。更广泛的影响：研究结果将使组织中的具体中介沟通更加有效，从而改善分布式工作组中的协作。 研究结果还将为开发工具提供信息，帮助行动不便的残疾人与其社会和专业社区互动。此外，该项目还将加强威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的本科生和研究生课程，并将开展一项外展计划，通过一年一度的夏令营和一年两次的活动，将机器人技术设计的跨学科知识和方法传播到 K-12 教育中。全天的研讨会。
