In this article, we report on research and creative practice that explores the aesthetic interplay between movement and sound for soft robotics. Our inquiry seeks to interrogate what sound designs might be aesthetically engaging and appropriate for soft robotic movement in a social human-robot interaction setting. We present the design of a soft sound-producing robot, SONŌ, made of pliable and expandable silicone and three sound designs made for this robot. The article comprises an articulation of the underlying design process and results from two empirical interaction experiments ( = 66, = 60) conducted to evaluate the sound designs. The sound designs did not have statistically significant effects on people's perception of the social attributes of two different soft robots. Qualitative results, however, indicate that people's interpretations of the sound designs depend on robot type.
在本文中，我们报告了一项研究与创造性实践，该研究探索了软机器人运动与声音之间的美学相互作用。我们的探究旨在审视在社交人机交互环境中，何种声音设计在美学上具有吸引力且适合软机器人的运动。我们展示了一款由柔韧且可膨胀的硅胶制成的发声软机器人SONŌ的设计，以及为该机器人设计的三种声音。本文阐述了基础设计过程以及为评估这些声音设计而进行的两项实证交互实验（ = 66， = 60）的结果。这些声音设计对人们对两种不同软机器人社会属性的认知没有统计学上的显著影响。然而，定性结果表明，人们对声音设计的解读取决于机器人类型。
