商品描述

This book presents a comprehensive guide to the design of playing robots and the related play experiences. Play is a natural activity for building and improving abilities, and it reveals important particularly for persons with disabilities. Many social, physical and cultural factors may hinder children with disabilities from fully enjoying play as their peers. Autonomous robots with specific characteristics can enhance the ludic experience, having implications for the character of the play and presenting opportunities related to autonomy and physical movement, the very nature of robots. Their introduction into play thus provides everybody, and in particular persons with disabilities, new possibilities for developing abilities, improving general status, participating in social contexts, as well as supporting professionals in monitoring progress.

This book presents a framework for the design of playful activities with robots, developed over 20 years’ experience at AIRLab - POLIMI. Part 1 introduces the play concepts and characteristics, and research results about play of children with different kinds of impairments. Part 2 focuses on implementing robots able to play. The design of playful activities is discussed, as well as the necessary characteristics for them to be useful in both general play and activities involving disability-related limitations. In Part 3, the defined framework is used to analyze possibilities involving robots available on the toy market, robots developed at research labs, and robots to be developed in the next future. The aim of the book is to give developers, caregivers, and users a set of methodological tools for selecting, exploring, and designing inclusive play activities where robots play a central role.

這本書提供了一個全面的指南,介紹玩具機器人的設計及相關的遊戲體驗。遊戲是建立和提升能力的自然活動,對於殘障人士來說尤其重要。許多社會、身體和文化因素可能會阻礙殘障兒童像同齡人一樣充分享受遊戲。具有特定特徵的自主機器人可以增強遊戲體驗,對遊戲的性質產生影響,並提供與自主性和身體運動相關的機會,這正是機器人的本質。因此,將它們引入遊戲中為每個人,特別是殘障人士,提供了發展能力、改善整體狀況、參與社交環境以及支持專業人士監測進展的新可能性。

這本書提出了一個設計機器人遊戲活動的框架,該框架是在AIRLab - POLIMI 20年的經驗基礎上發展而來。第一部分介紹了遊戲的概念和特徵,以及關於不同類型障礙兒童遊戲的研究結果。第二部分專注於實施能夠參與遊戲的機器人。討論了遊戲活動的設計,以及使其在一般遊戲和涉及殘障相關限制的活動中有用所需的特徵。在第三部分,使用定義的框架來分析市場上可用的玩具機器人、研究實驗室開發的機器人以及未來將要開發的機器人。這本書的目的是為開發者、照顧者和使用者提供一套方法論工具,以選擇、探索和設計以機器人為核心的包容性遊戲活動。

作者簡介

Andrea Bonarini is a full professor at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, teaching courses about Robotics and AI at the Industrial and Information Engineering School and at the Design School. He is also in charge of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab. Over the course of 25 years, he has developed, in conjunction with his students, more than 40 different playing robots, many of which are oriented towards people with disabilities, the latter created as part of a program that he launched through the Playbot4All initiative. His research interests include autonomous robotic agent design, human-robot interaction, robot-based entertainment, affective computing, intelligent data interpretation, reinforcementmachine learning, and fuzzy systems.

Serenella Besio is a full Professor in Didactic and Special Education at the University of Bergamo, Italy. She teaches courses on disability and educational topics. She has coordinated national and international projects on the use of play, and playing robots, for rehabilitation, including the EU COST network "LUDI - play for children with disabilities". Her main research topics include assistive technologies and the promotion of play rights for children with disabilities.
