摘要:

团体互动对社会功能至关重要,但有效的参与依赖于识别和解释视觉线索的能力,这使得盲人参与成为重大挑战。本文研究了移动机器人如何支持盲人团体互动。我们使用了混合视觉团体的导览场景,其中包括盲人和视力正常游客。基于对盲人(n=5)和博物馆专家(n=5)的访谈研究结果,我们设计并原型了一个支持盲人游客参加团体游览的机器人系统。我们在科学博物馆进行了实地研究,每位盲人参与者(n=8)与一名导游和两名视力正常参与者(n=8)一起参加团体游览。研究结果表明,用户从机器人导航支持中感受到的安全感、对团体参与的担忧以及获取环境信息的偏好。我们为未来支持盲人混合视觉团体参与的机器人系统提出了设计启示。

英文摘要:

Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant challenge for blind people. In this paper, we investigate how a mobile robot can support group interactions for blind people. We used the scenario of a guided tour with mixed-visual groups involving blind and sighted visitors. Based on insights from an interview study with blind people (n=5) and museum experts (n=5), we designed and prototyped a robotic system that supported blind visitors to join group tours. We conducted a field study in a science museum where each blind participant (n=8) joined a group tour with one guide and two sighted participants (n=8). Findings indicated users' sense of safety from the robot's navigational support, concerns in the group participation, and preferences for obtaining environmental information. We present design implications for future robotic systems to support blind people's mixed-visual group participation.
