论文摘要
本文介绍了一种名为“ Hand of Hands”的新型协作教育游戏的设计，实施和评估，涉及我们设计的儿童和定制的社交机器人（Hakshe）。通过这个游戏平台，我们旨在向儿童讲授适当的手卫生实践，并探索在这种环境中亲社会机器人与儿童之间发生的互动程度。我们将游戏化与计算机作为社会演员（CASA）范式融合在一起，以将机器人作为社会演员或游戏中的其他玩家建模。该游戏是使用Godot的2D引擎和Alice 3开发的。在这项研究中，32名参与者通过视频电视节目平台Zoom在线玩游戏。为了理解亲社会机器人对儿童互动的影响，我们将研究分为两个条件：裸露和没有裸露。对儿童互动的标题和视频分析的详细分析表明，我们的平台帮助儿童学习了良好的手工卫生实践。我们还发现，尽管学习本身并没有受到机器人的亲社会性影响，但使用亲社会机器人会创造出令人愉悦的互动和更大的社交互动。
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a novel collaborative educational game titled "Land of Hands", involving children and a customized social robot that we designed (HakshE). Through this gaming platform, we aim to teach proper hand hygiene practises to children and explore the extent of interactions that take place between a pro-social robot and children in such a setting. We blended gamification with Computers as Social Actors (CASA) paradigm to model the robot as a social actor or a fellow player in the game. The game was developed using Godot's 2D engine and Alice 3. In this study, 32 participants played the game online through a video teleconferencing platform Zoom. To understand the influence a pro-social robot's nudges has on children's interactions, we split our study into two conditions: With-Nudges and Without-Nudges. Detailed analysis of rubrics and video analyses of children's interactions show that our platform helped children learn good hand hygiene practises. We also found that using a pro-social robot creates enjoyable interactions and greater social engagement between the children and the robot although learning itself wasn't influenced by the pro-sociality of the robot.
