摘要:

在陌生的室内环境中导航可能会带来压力。最近,许多场所部署了机器人来协助访客。此类机器人的功能之一是护送访客到达环境内的目标目的地,但这既不具备可扩展性,对每位访客来说也并非必要。相反,可以将机器人助手部署在战略位置以提供寻路指令。这不仅提升了用户体验,还能在许多时间紧迫的场景中发挥作用,例如在机场护送某人前往登机口。然而,通过口头方式传达路线描述面临挑战。如果描述过于冗长,人们可能难以回忆起所有信息;而过于简短的描述可能毫无帮助。本文旨在研究口头路线描述的最佳长度,使其既能有效引导到达目的地,又便于人们记忆。本研究提出了一个理论框架,将路线片段与工作记忆中的组块联系起来。基于该框架,设计并开展了一项实验,以考察不同长度的路线描述对导航性能的影响。结果揭示了有趣的模式,表明四个路线片段为理想长度。本研究为未来探索室内环境中路线描述长度、工作记忆容量与导航性能之间的关系奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

Navigating through a new indoor environment can be stressful. Recently, many places have deployed robots to assist visitors. One of the features of such robots is escorting the visitors to their desired destination within the environment, but this is neither scalable nor necessary for every visitor. Instead, a robot assistant could be deployed at a strategic location to provide wayfinding instructions. This not only increases the user experience but can be helpful in many time-critical scenarios e.g., escorting someone to their boarding gate at an airport. However, delivering route descriptions verbally poses a challenge. If the description is too verbose, people may struggle to recall all the information, while overly brief descriptions may be simply unhelpful. This article focuses on studying the optimal length of verbal route descriptions that are effective for reaching the destination and easy for people to recall. This work proposes a theoretical framework that links route segments to chunks in working memory. Based on this framework, an experiment is designed and conducted to examine the effects of route descriptions of different lengths on navigational performance. The results revealed intriguing patterns suggesting an ideal length of four route segments. This study lays a foundation for future research exploring the relationship between route description lengths, working memory capacity, and navigational performance in indoor environments.
