This approach represents a shift from the current paradigm of custom, robot-specific tools toward a unified platform that can serve as shared infrastructure for the HRI research community. By treating experiment design, execution, and analysis as distinct but integrated phases of a study, such a framework can systematically address both technical barriers and sources of variability that currently limit research quality and reproducibility.
The design principles behind this approach (a hierarchical specification model, an event-driven execution model, and a protocol/trial separation with explicit deviation logging) are the contribution of this thesis. Together they form a coherent architecture for WoZ infrastructure that any implementation could adopt. The platform I developed, HRIStudio, is my take at one such implementation: an open-source reference system that realizes those principles and serves as the instrument for empirical validation.
