Common metrics for human-robot interaction

Abstract

This paper describes an effort to identify common metrics for task-oriented human-robot interaction (HRI). We begin by discussing the need for a toolkit of HRI metrics. We then describe the framework of our work and identify important biasing factors that must be taken into consideration. Finally, we present preliminary results, including a summary of task-specific metrics already in use and suggested common metrics for standardization. Preparation of a larger, more detailed HRI metric toolkit is in progress.
