TeleAware Robot: Designing Awareness-augmented Telepresence Robot for Remote Collaborative Locomotion
Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies(2024)
摘要
Telepresence robots can be used to support users to navigate an environment
remotely and share the visiting experience with their social partners. Although
such systems allow users to see and hear the remote environment and communicate
with their partners via live video feed, this does not provide enough awareness
of the environment and their remote partner's activities. In this paper, we
introduce an awareness framework for collaborative locomotion in scenarios of
onsite and remote users visiting a place together. From an observational study
of small groups of people visiting exhibitions, we derived four design goals
for enhancing the environmental and social awareness between social partners,
and developed a set of awareness-enhancing techniques to add to a standard
telepresence robot - named TeleAware robot. Through a controlled experiment
simulating a guided exhibition visiting task, TeleAware robot showed the
ability to lower the workload, facilitate closer social proximity, and improve
mutual awareness and social presence compared with the standard one. We discuss
the impact of mobility and roles of local and remote users, and provide
insights for the future design of awareness-enhancing telepresence robot
systems that facilitate collaborative locomotion.
