The ideal companion machine would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in an agreeable manner. Those qualities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be simulated as closely as possible, and the machine would appear to be charming stimulating, and easygoing. Its informal conversational style would make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant and unassuming, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style.
理想的陪伴機(jī)器人不僅有視覺，觸覺而且給人的感覺十分友好，還可通過程序設(shè)計(jì)使之舉止優(yōu)雅。這些討人喜歡的交流特性非常逼真，這種機(jī)器人魅力十足，模仿能力強(qiáng)且容易相處。平易近人的性格會讓人們感覺相處起來很舒服，而其本身所帶的一絲絲的神秘感更加地吸引人。剛開始和用戶相處的時候，機(jī)器人可能會有些猶豫和不知所措，待逐漸了解用戶之后，它會慢慢轉(zhuǎn)變成很容易相處和接近的類型。
The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own. The machine would convey presence. We have all seen how a computer’s use of personal names often fascinates people and needs them to treat the machine as if it were almost human. Such features are easily written into the software. By introducing a degree of forcefulness and humor, the machine could be presented as a vivid and unique character.
這種機(jī)器人不僅僅只是一位被動的承受者，它也有自己的意愿，隱私和觀點(diǎn)；有時甚至?xí)鲃拥卣以掝}聊或者是轉(zhuǎn)變話題，它有自己的性格。機(jī)器人可傳達(dá)屏幕指令。我們已經(jīng)見識過人們對電腦下達(dá)指令，人們深陷這種樂趣以至于他們對待機(jī)器好似人類一般。而將這些特點(diǎn)寫入軟件里是輕而易舉的。通過給它施加一定程度的意志力和幽默感，那么機(jī)器人可能就是一個活生生的，獨(dú)一無二的人物。
Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it simulated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy.
深厚的友誼需要長年累月的積累，而這種機(jī)器人也不例外，經(jīng)過慢慢了解后感情會逐漸發(fā)生變化，將來人們也愿意將這種機(jī)器人視為知音。在合適的時機(jī)，該機(jī)器人還可以模仿人類表達(dá)一些相對親昵的感情和親密舉動。
