How social distance shapes human–robot interaction

This paper investigates how social distance can serve as a lens through which we can understand human–robot relationships and develop guidelines for robot design. In two studies, we examine the effects of distance based on physical proximity (proxemic distance), organizational status (power distance), and task structure (task distance) on people׳s experiences with and perceptions of a humanlike robot. In Study 1, participants (n=32) played a card-matching game with a humanlike robot. We manipulated the power distance (supervisor vs. subordinate) and proxemic distance (close vs. distant) between participants and the robot. Participants who interacted with the supervisor robot reported a more positive user experience when the robot was close than when the robot was distant, while interactions with the subordinate robot resulted in a more positive experience when the robot was distant than when the robot was close. In Study 2, participants (n=32) played the game in two different task distances (cooperation vs. competition) and proxemic distances (close vs. distant). Participants who cooperated with the robot reported a more positive experience when the robot was distant than when it was close. In contrast, competing with the robot resulted in a more positive experience when it was close than when the robot was distant. The findings from the two studies highlight the importance of consistency between the status and proxemic behaviors of the robot and of task interdependency in fostering cooperation between the robot and its users. This work also demonstrates how social distance may guide efforts toward a better understanding of human–robot interaction and the development of effective design guidelines.

移动平台三维花卉植物触摸反馈可视化模拟

虚拟现实领域中,人们对三维花卉植物可视化及交互感的需求越来越强烈,而触摸力度引起的植物受力形变过程又无法采用现有的植物运动形变方法进行模拟,因为现有方法造成了模拟失真,交互感差。根据植物整株交互需求或单一叶片受力情况,分析不同方式的运动反馈模拟方法,先判断受力情况,根据动力学原理模拟整株受力,根据触摸屏获取数据,结合叶脉骨架旋转模型算法计算出单一叶片因受力而发生的形变,不需手动输入参数,就能模拟不同力度触摸造成的叶片形变。本方法应用在移动平台后,真实感和帧速率情况良好,可视化和交互感大大提升,并可推广到同类结构的物体模拟。     

虚拟服装展示系统的比较研究

虚拟服装展示是借助立体全息技术、互联网或数字互动大屏幕来展示人体或数字角色“穿上”虚拟服装后的动态视觉效果。随着数字媒体艺术、交互技术和立体显示技术的发展,虚拟服装展示系统被广泛用于立体时装设计、服装表演、娱乐秀、商场试衣以及电视广告等领域。本文分析比较了近年来国内外虚拟服装展示领域的技术发展,并归纳总结出当前虚拟服装展示的5种人机交互模式。作者认为：随着全息技术、体感交互、立体视觉和增强现实等智能环境技术的发展,以“私人订制”为代表的个性化、时尚化和智能化的虚拟试衣体验将成为未来人们服装购买体验中不可或缺的重要环节之一。

感性的科技——浅析可穿戴设备的未来发展趋势

2013年被称为可穿戴设计元年,在发展过程中,其始终未能成为生活中的必需品,是因为忽略了最重要的两个方面：一是找到最恰当的人机交互关系;二是满足用户真正的需求。而满足了这两方面就可以帮助建立更亲密的,回归原本的,人与人之间的沟通,＂以人为本＂的理念更促进了可穿戴设计内部操作关系与外在表现形式的研究和探索。而数据背后的分析服务不仅能增强用户对于可穿戴设计更完整更智能的体验,更有利于可穿戴设计企业更长久更完善的商业发展。     

Modeling and control of Wiener-type processes

We develop a simple relay feedback method to identify Wiener-type nonlinear processes. It separates the identification problem of the nonlinear static function from that of the linear dynamic subsystem to simplify the identification procedure significantly. Owing to the separation, the unmeasurable output of the linear dynamic subsystem can be obtained in a straightforward manner. Then, determining the model structure of the nonlinear static function becomes very simple and the estimates are robust to additive output noises. We can identify the whole activated region of the nonlinear static function as well as the ultimate information of the linear dynamic subsystem from only one relay feedback test. More information on the linear dynamic subsystem can be estimated by well-established linear system identification methods from additional tests. We use a nonlinear control strategy to compensate the nonlinear dynamics of the Wiener process so that the design parameters can be determined by usual tuning rules developed for linear processes and a high control performance can be achievable as in linear processes.
