智慧动物与电子科技交互:现状与展望

Interactions Between Intelligent Animals and Electronic Technology:Current State and Future Prospects

人类与动物的交互合作自古以来就有着悠久的历史,伴随着智能芯片、可穿戴设备和机器算法的快速发展,智慧动物与电子科技的交互成为了现实。如今,人类可以借助电子系统与动物进行沟通、感知和控制。这类电子设备的目标在于实现以动物为中心的工作模式,从而提升人类对动物的理解,最终促进动物智能和创造力的发展。本文将中型、大型动物作为研究对象,以发展其能力增强为目标,提出了“智慧动物增强系统”的构想。该构想用以描述这类装置的特性,并对现有的动物与计算机接口解决方案进行了全面综述。总的来说,智慧动物增强系统主要分为植入式和非植入式两类,均由接口平台、感知与解读、控制与指示三部分构成,并通过不同层次的增强系统和架构模式,从而实现人与动物的智慧交互。尽管已有的智慧动物增强系统仍然缺乏完整独立的交互系统架构,但在未来的发展中,智慧动物增强系统具备良好的前景和发展空间,不仅可以用于替代尖端设备和运输设备,还有望通过智慧共联实现跨物种的信息交互。同时,智慧动物增强系统可以促进人与动物的双向交互,对动物伦理和生态保护的发展也将产生重要的推动作用。更为重要的是,基于动物主体的交互模型开发能够为设计人机交互系统提供可借鉴的研究经验,从而有助于更高效地推进人机结合宏伟目标的早日实现。

Human-animal interaction has a long-standing tradition dating back to ancient times.With the rapid advancements in intelligent chips,wearable devices,and machine algorithms,the intelligent interaction between animals and electronic technology,facilitated by electronic devices and systems for communication,perception,and control,has become a reality.These electronic devices aim to implement an animal-centric working mode to enhance human understanding of animals and promote the development of animal intelligence and creativity.This article takes medium-sized and large animals as research objects,with the goal of developing their ability enhancement,and introduces the concept of“intelligent animal augmentation system(IAAS)”.This concept is used to describe the characteristics of such devices and provides a comprehensive overview of existing animal and computer interface solutions.In general,IAAS can be divided into implantable and non-implantable types,each composed of interface platforms,perception and interpretation,control and instruction components.Through various levels of enhancement systems and architectural patterns,intelligent interaction between humans and animals can be realized.Although existing IAAS still lack a complete independent interaction system architecture,they hold great promise and development space in the future.Not only can they be applied as substitutes for cutting-edge devices and transportation equipment,but they are also expected to achieve cross-species information interaction through intelligent interconnection.Additionally,IAAS can promote bidirectional interaction between humans and animals,playing a significant role in advancing animal ethics and ecological protection.Furthermore,the development of interaction models based on animal subjects can provide insightful research experiences for the design of human-computer interaction systems,thereby contributing to the more efficient realization of the ambitious goal of human-machine integration.
