A well-structured study underscores the significance of a research idea. However, designing an effective user study can be daunting for novice Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) researchers. "Workshop Your Study Design" seeks to address this gap in knowledge by offering bespoke feedback from seasoned HRI experts.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hone their user study blueprints, fine-tune their anticipated analyses, and delve into new research topics during two dedicated sessions with esteemed HRI specialists. The workshop promotes active participation, with short mentor-driven talks on pivotal topics relevant to study design.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions from various areas of HRI. Participants are encouraged to submit a study that is currently in the design process but may contain weaknesses in the experimental protocol and methodology. We also highly encourage the submission of completed studies, as they create an opportunity for self-reflection and potential for improvement of future work.
All submissions must be a 2-4 page brief overview of a user study in terms focussing on the experimental protocol for data collection and/or methodology for data analysis. View our website for detailed guidelines.
