This project’s goal is to explore how robotic systems could become deeply integrated into people’s living and working spaces via “robot-rooms”. People are increasingly using technologies such as voice assistants and intelligent thermostats to customize and interact with spaces; the project team’s vision is to use robotic surface technologies they have developed to allow the room itself to change configuration and physically interact with occupants. This scenario may have benefits in a number of contexts: houses that adapt to facilitate family and individual interaction; workspaces that automatically adjust to an individual’s abilities and tasks to make work more comfortable and efficient; hotels and apartments that can adapt to many different visitors in a short time; museum exhibits that provide a wide variety of immersive experiences; and many others. The team plans to implement multiple prototypes to both explore these possibilities and to support outreach activities aimed at encouraging youth to enter robotics-related careers and to raise public awareness of the possibilities of robots in everyday life. In the project, the team will develop: (a) a design space of possibilities for what characterizes a robot-room, informed by human needs and wants; (b) a working prototype, and (c) a deep understanding of how inhabitants are supported and augmented by a robot-room, following real-world scenarios. Specifically, the investigators will conduct a user-experience study to investigate the experiences of participants interacting with prototypes representing two robot-room concepts using rapid prototyping techniques. The results of this study will form the basis for the development of a full-scale robot-room prototype. Ongoing interaction studies will iterate the robot-room prototype through cycles of evaluation with respect to its usability, performance, and efficacy. Ultimately, the robot-rooms investigated in this project will prove an impactful form of robotics as we enter a extend beyond current conceptions of productivity and play, defined by intimate collaborations between people and machines, and a novel paradigm for human-computer interaction in which the interaction is with a machine that physically envelops people.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的目标是探索如何通过“机器人室”将机器人系统深入融合到人们的生活和工作空间中。人们越来越多地使用语音助手和智能恒温器等技术来自定义和与空间相互作用。项目团队的愿景是使用他们开发的机器人表面技术，以使房间本身更改配置并与居住者进行物理互动。这种情况可能会在许多情况下受益：适应促进家庭和个人互动的房屋；自动适应个人能力和任务以使工作更加舒适和高效的工作区；可以在短时间内适应许多不同游客的酒店和公寓；博物馆展览提供各种身临其境的体验；还有许多其他。该团队计划实施多种原型，以探索这些可能性，并支持旨在鼓励青年人进入与机器人相关的职业并提高公众对每天生命中机器人可能性的认识的外展活动。在项目中，团队将开发：（a）特征在于人类需求和需求的机器人室的设计空间； （b）有效的原型，以及（c）在实际情况下，机器人室如何支持和增强影响者的深刻理解。具体而言，研究人员将进行一项用户体验研究，以调查参与者与代表两个机器人室概念的原型相互作用的经验，并使用快速的原型制作技术。这项研究的结果将构成开发全尺寸机器人室原型的基础。正在进行的相互作用研究将通过评估的可用性，性能和有效性来迭代机器人室原型。最终，在该项目中调查的机器人室将是一种有影响力的机器人形式，因为我们超越了当前的生产力和游戏概念，这取决于人与机器之间的亲密合作，以及人力计算的新型范式的范围，与该机器的互动相互作用是通过机器来构成nsf dection nsf dection dection dection dection dection的互动的新颖范式。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
