The Child Factor in Child-Robot Interaction: Discovering the Impact of Developmental Stage and Individual Characteristics
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Social robots, owing to their embodied physical presence in human spaces and
the ability to directly interact with the users and their environment, have a
great potential to support children in various activities in education,
healthcare and daily life. Child-Robot Interaction (CRI), as any domain
involving children, inevitably faces the major challenge of designing
generalized strategies to work with unique, turbulent and very diverse
individuals. Addressing this challenging endeavor requires to combine the
standpoint of the robot-centered perspective, i.e. what robots technically can
and are best positioned to do, with that of the child-centered perspective,
i.e. what children may gain from the robot and how the robot should act to best
support them in reaching the goals of the interaction. This article aims to
help researchers bridge the two perspectives and proposes to address the
development of CRI scenarios with insights from child psychology and child
development theories. To that end, we review the outcomes of the CRI studies,
outline common trends and challenges, and identify two key factors from child
psychology that impact child-robot interactions, especially in a long-term
perspective: developmental stage and individual characteristics. For both of
them we discuss prospective experiment designs which support building naturally
engaging and sustainable interactions.
