商品描述

This edited collection approaches the field of social robotics from the perspective of a cultural ecology, fostering a deeper examination of the reach of robotic technology into the lived experience of diverse human populations, as well as the impact of human cultures on the development and design of these social agents.

To address the broad topic of Cultural Robotics, the book is sectioned into three focus areas: Human Futures, Assistive Technologies, and Creative Platforms and their Communities. The Human Futures section includes chapters on the histories and future of social robot morphology design, sensory and sonic interaction with robots, technology ethics, material explorations of embodiment, and robotic performed sentience. The Assistive Technologies section presents chapters from community-led teams, and researchers working to adopt a strengths-based approach to designing assistive technologies for those with disability or neurodivergence. Importantly, this section contains work written by authors belonging to those communities. Creative Platforms and their Communities looks to the creative cross-disciplinary researchers adopting robotics within their art practices, those contributing creatively to more traditional robotics research, and the testing of robotics in non-traditional platforms such as museum and gallery spaces.

Cultural Robotics: Social Robots and their Emergent Cultural Ecologies makes a case for the development of social robotics to be increasingly informed by community-led transdisciplinary research, to be decentralised and democratised, shaped by teams with a diversity of backgrounds, informed by both experts and non-experts, and tested in both traditional and non-traditional platforms. In this way, the field of cultural robotics as an ecological approach to encompassing the widest possible spectrum of human experience in the development of social robotics can be advanced.

這本編輯過的專著從文化生態學的角度探討社會機器人領域,深入研究機器人技術對不同人類群體生活經驗的影響,以及人類文化對這些社會機器人發展和設計的影響。

為了探討文化機器人的廣泛主題,這本書分為三個重點領域:人類未來、輔助技術和創意平台及其社群。人類未來部分包括有關社會機器人形態設計的歷史和未來、與機器人的感官和聲音互動、技術倫理、具體化的材料探索以及機器人的感知能力等章節。輔助技術部分介紹了由社群領導的團隊和研究人員所撰寫的章節,他們致力於以優勢為基礎的輔助技術設計,以幫助殘障人士或神經多樣性者。重要的是,這一部分包含了屬於這些社群的作者所寫的作品。創意平台及其社群則關注於跨學科研究人員如何在藝術實踐中應用機器人技術,以及那些對傳統機器人研究做出創造性貢獻的人,以及在非傳統平台(如博物館和畫廊空間)中測試機器人技術。

《文化機器人:社會機器人及其新興文化生態學》提出了一個觀點,即社會機器人的發展應該越來越多地受到社群領導的跨學科研究的啟發,並且應該是分散和民主化的,由具有不同背景的團隊塑造,並由專家和非專家共同參與,並在傳統和非傳統平台上進行測試。通過這種方式,文化機器人領域作為一種生態學方法,可以在社會機器人的發展中涵蓋最廣泛的人類經驗。

Dr Deborah Turnbull Tillman

Deborah Turnbull Tillman is an editor, author and curator, and teaches at UNSW School of Art & Design as a lecturer in Media Arts and Curatorial. She is the Culture and Technology Lead at the UNSW Creative Robotics Lab. Deborah's curatorial practice specialises in design, technology and new media. Her most recent exhibition, co-curated with A/Profs Lian Loke and Dagmar Reinhardt, was SHErobots: Tool, Toy, Companion at Tin Sheds Gallery, University of Sydney, in 2022. Deborah's PhD, "New Media Curation: a novel methodology and preliminary criteria for exhibiting new media and interactive art," was awarded in September 2018 and examines disruption and experiential learning regarding curatorial process.

Dr. Scott Andrew Brown

Scott Andrew Brown is a Lecturer at UNSW School of Art & Design, and the lead for the Assistive Technologies Stream in the UNSW Creative Robotics Lab. His expertise is in designing social experiences with neurodivergent people, deploying UX (user experience) and interaction design methods to co-create novel opportunities for engagement with groups that are often marginalised or otherwise not given a voice in the development of interactive products and services. Scott's current work is on haptic and audio technologies for use by a range of neurodiverse people and researching the effectiveness of 'quiet rooms' for autistic children and their families at large sporting events.
