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 contributions of this thesis are the design principles of this approach, namely: a hierarchical specification model, an event-driven execution model, and a protocol/trial separation with explicit deviation logging. Together they form a coherent architecture for WoZ infrastructure that any implementation could adopt. The platform I developed, HRIStudio, is a complete realization of this architecture: an open-source, web-based platform that serves as both the primary artifact of this thesis and the instrument for empirical validation.
