论文摘要
本文描述了我们最近使用虚拟现实来模拟威胁性紧急撤离情景的努力，其中机器人将人引导到一个人出口。我们先前的工作表明，即使在紧急撤离期间，即使机器人有问题，人们也会遵循机器人的指导。但是，由于身体上的紧急疏散实验很难进行，而且由于我们想评估许多不同的因素，因此我们有动力开发一种使人们沉浸在模拟环境中的系统，以鼓励真正的主题反应。我们正在努力完成验证方法有效性的实验。
This paper describes our recent effort to use virtual reality to simulate threatening emergency evacuation scenarios in which a robot guides a person to an exit. Our prior work has demonstrated that people will follow a robot's guidance, even when the robot is faulty, during an emergency evacuation. Yet, because physical in-person emergency evacuation experiments are difficult and costly to conduct and because we would like to evaluate many different factors, we are motivated to develop a system that immerses people in the simulation environment to encourage genuine subject reactions. We are working to complete experiments verifying the validity of our approach.
