探索与机器人合作的游戏,以鼓励儿童良好的手卫生习惯
Exploring Collaborative Game Play with Robots to Encourage Good Hand Hygiene Practises among Children
摘要:
本文介绍了一种新的协作教育游戏,名为“土地的手”,涉及儿童和定制的社会机器人,我们设计的(HakshE)的设计,实施和评估。通过这个游戏平台,我们的目标是向儿童传授正确的手部卫生知识,并探索在这种环境中亲社会机器人与儿童之间的互动程度。我们将游戏化与计算机作为社会参与者(CASA)范式相结合,将机器人建模为游戏中的社会参与者或同伴。该游戏使用Godot的2D引擎和Alice 3开发。在这项研究中,32名参与者通过视频会议平台Zoom在线玩游戏。为了了解亲社会机器人的轻推对儿童互动的影响,我们将研究分为两种情况:有轻推和无轻推。对儿童互动的详细分析和视频分析表明,我们的平台帮助儿童学习了良好的手部卫生知识。我们还发现,使用亲社会机器人可以在孩子和机器人之间创造愉快的互动和更大的社会参与,尽管学习本身并不受机器人的亲社会性的影响。
英文摘要:
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a novel collaborative educational game titled "Land of Hands", involving children and a customized social robot that we designed (HakshE). Through this gaming platform, we aim to teach proper hand hygiene practises to children and explore the extent of interactions that take place between a pro-social robot and children in such a setting. We blended gamification with Computers as Social Actors (CASA) paradigm to model the robot as a social actor or a fellow player in the game. The game was developed using Godot's 2D engine and Alice 3. In this study, 32 participants played the game online through a video teleconferencing platform Zoom. To understand the influence a pro-social robot's nudges has on children's interactions, we split our study into two conditions: With-Nudges and Without-Nudges. Detailed analysis of rubrics and video analyses of children's interactions show that our platform helped children learn good hand hygiene practises. We also found that using a pro-social robot creates enjoyable interactions and greater social engagement between the children and the robot although learning itself wasn't influenced by the pro-sociality of the robot.
