Abstract:
Long term HRI studies can be costly, firstly in terms of researcher time, hardware/software development time, data-collection, data analysis, trial preparation, trial execution, robot time and subsequently, in terms of funding for robotics and other equipment. Methods which reduce such costs by using resource-efficient feasibility studies to analyze study methods and propose outcomes, debug code associated with data collection/analysis, and sanity check human-robot interactions by simulating, predicting and generating feasible scenarios would therefore be welcome. This paper proposes such methods and provides physical implementation details of these methods in practice and data from a preliminary study.
