The RUSH Checklist: A Standardized Framework for Reporting User Studies in Human-Robot Interaction
Abstract Transparent and consistent reporting of user studies is essential for advancing scientific knowledge. In human-robot interaction (HRI), studies are often reported incompletely, even in top-tier venues, limiting proper evaluation, replication, and practical application of findings in practice. This study aimed to generate expert consensus on a reporting checklist for HRI user studies and provide…

Do Results in Experiments with Virtual Robots in Augmented Reality Transfer To Physical Robots? An Experiment Design
Abstract Entry to human-robot interaction research, e.g., conducting empirical experiments, faces a significant economic barrier due to the high cost of physical robots, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, if not millions. This cost issue also severely limits the field’s ability to replicate user studies and reproduce the results to verify their reliability, thus…
