针对核退役场景下机器人团队沉浸式遥操作的数据传递需求，该研究对比了认知隐喻型与计算主义型两种声化设计方法，发现二者在可预测性、心理负荷及多声源场景下的直观性、空间化效果等方面各有优势。

摘要：

作为一种具身化的空间媒介，虚拟现实正成为危险环境中机器人遥操作的极具吸引力的方案。本文研究了一个核退役场景：在虚拟核设施内，由半自主机器人组成的模拟团队被用于对一个腔室进行特性表征。本研究探讨了在这类环境中，声化技术作为向操作员传递关键数据的手段的潜在效用与影响。然而，应使用何种声音、以及如何将其应用于不同场景的问题仍远未得到解决。本文探索并比较了两种声化设计方法。第一种方法受认知隐喻理论启发，所创建的声化效果与人们通过社会习得的、对应用领域的情境和生态认知相契合。第二种方法采用计算主义路径，使用文献中常见的听觉映射方式。结果表明，计算主义方法在可预测性和心理工作负荷方面的表现优于认知隐喻方法。不过，定性数据分析显示，认知隐喻方法生成的声音更直观，并且在存在多个声源时，在数据源空间化和数据易读性方面的实现效果更好。

英文摘要：

As an embodied and spatial medium, virtual reality is proving an attractive proposition for robot teleoperation in hazardous environments. This paper examines a nuclear decommissioning scenario in which a simulated team of semi-autonomous robots are used to characterise a chamber within a virtual nuclear facility. This study examines the potential utility and impact of sonification as a means of communicating salient operator data in such an environment. However, the question of what sound should be used and how it can be applied in different applications is far from resolved. This paper explores and compares two sonification design approaches. The first is inspired by the theory of cognitive metaphor to create sonifications that align with socially acquired contextual and ecological understanding of the application domain. The second adopts a computationalist approach using auditory mappings that are commonplace in the literature. The results suggest that the computationalist approach outperforms the cognitive metaphor approach in terms of predictability and mental workload. However, qualitative data analysis demonstrates that the cognitive metaphor approach resulted in sounds that were more intuitive, and were better implemented for spatialisation of data sources and data legibility when there was more than one sound source.
