论文摘要
社交机器人已被用来以各种方式来协助心理健康，例如帮助自闭症儿童改善其社交技能和执行功能，例如共同关注和身体意识。他们还可以通过减少孤立和孤独感，并支持青少年和儿童的心理健康来帮助老年人。但是，该领域的现有工作仅通过社交机器人来互动地响应人类活动来帮助他们学习相关技能，从而通过社交机器人表现出对心理健康的支持。我们假设人类还可以通过与社会机器人释放或分享其心理健康数据来从社交机器人那里获得帮助。在本文中，我们提出了人类机器人相互作用（HRI）研究，以评估这一假设。在为期五天的研究中，共有55（n = 55）的参与者与社交机器人分享了他们的内在情绪和压力水平。我们看到大多数积极的结果表明，值得在这个方向上进行未来的工作，以及社会机器人在很大程度上支持心理健康的潜力。
Social robots have been used to assist with mental well-being in various ways such as to help children with autism improve on their social skills and executive functioning such as joint attention and bodily awareness. They are also used to help older adults by reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, as well as supporting mental well-being of teens and children. However, existing work in this sphere has only shown support for mental health through social robots by responding interactively to human activity to help them learn relevant skills. We hypothesize that humans can also get help from social robots in mental well-being by releasing or sharing their mental health data with the social robots. In this paper, we present a human-robot interaction (HRI) study to evaluate this hypothesis. During the five-day study, a total of fifty-five (n=55) participants shared their in-the-moment mood and stress levels with a social robot. We saw a majority of positive results indicating it is worth conducting future work in this direction, and the potential of social robots to largely support mental well-being.
