ロボット開発現場における人間-ロボットインタラクションの考慮に関する探索的研究
An explorative study on how human-robot interaction is taken into account by robot developers in praxis
ロボット製品の開発チーム11組(計68名)を対象に、設計・実装過程で人間要因や非言語コミュニケーション手法をどう考慮しているかを調査し、ユーザー視点やHRI工学の知識がしばしば欠けていることを明らかにした。

How is human-robot interaction considered within the development of new robotic systems by practitioners? This study sets out to inquire, whether the development teams of robotic products have been considering human factor methods in their design and implementation process. We were specifically interested in the non-verbal communication methods they were aiming to implement, and how they have approached the design process for these. Although valuable insights on tasks and communication needs during the different phases of robot operation could be gathered, the results of this study indicate, that the perspective of the human user or bystander is very often neglected and that knowledge on methods for engineering human-robot interaction is missing. The study was conducted with eleven development teams consisting of robot manufacturers and students within a robot building course representing overall 68 individual participants.
