摘要:
机器人形态,即机器人的形式、形状和结构,在人机交互(HRI)中是一个关键的设计空间,决定了机器人如何运作、表达和与人互动。然而,尽管其重要性,人们对设计框架如何指导系统化的形态探索知之甚少。为解决这一差距,我们引入了《机器人形态要素》,一个框架,它识别出五个基本要素:感知、运动能力、末端执行器、运动方式和结构。这些要素源自对现有机器人的分析,该框架支持对多样机器人形态的系统探索。为了将该框架具体化,我们开发了形态探索模块(MEB),一套可触摸的积木,使用户能够通过动手、协作的方式进行机器人形态的实验。通过案例研究和设计研讨会,我们评估了该框架和工具包,展示了它们如何支持分析、构想、反思和协作机器人设计。
英文摘要:
Robot morphology, the form, shape, and structure of robots, is a key design space in human-robot interaction (HRI), shaping how robots function, express themselves, and interact with people. Yet, despite its importance, little is known about how design frameworks can guide systematic form exploration. To address this gap, we introduce Elements of Robot Morphology, a framework that identifies five fundamental elements: perception, articulation, end effectors, locomotion, and structure. Derived from an analysis of existing robots, the framework supports structured exploration of diverse robot forms. To operationalize the framework, we developed Morphology Exploration Blocks (MEB), a set of tangible blocks that enable hands-on, collaborative experimentation with robot morphologies. We evaluate the framework and toolkit through a case study and design workshops, showing how they support analysis, ideation, reflection, and collaborative robot design.
