论文摘要
在本文中，我们介绍了一个综合机器人系统，能够与一个或多个孩子合作，能够参与并执行各种教育和娱乐任务。该系统称为Childbot，具有多模式感知模块和多种机器人的监测相互作用环境的机器人，并且可以稳健地协调复杂的子机器人相互作用用例。为了验证系统及其集成模块的有效性，我们进行了多个实验，共有52名儿童。我们的结果表明，与Childbot所基于的早期作品相比，感知能力提高了。此外，我们已经进行了一些初步的用户体验研究，并采用了一些教育/娱乐任务，从而令人鼓舞的是我们系统的技术有效性以及对用户体验的最初见解的结果。
In this paper we present an integrated robotic system capable of participating in and performing a wide range of educational and entertainment tasks, in collaboration with one or more children. The system, called ChildBot, features multimodal perception modules and multiple robotic agents that monitor the interaction environment, and can robustly coordinate complex Child-Robot Interaction use-cases. In order to validate the effectiveness of the system and its integrated modules, we have conducted multiple experiments with a total of 52 children. Our results show improved perception capabilities in comparison to our earlier works that ChildBot was based on. In addition, we have conducted a preliminary user experience study, employing some educational/entertainment tasks, that yields encouraging results regarding the technical validity of our system and initial insights on the user experience with it.
