This recommended practice outlines best practices and requirements for the development and design of experiments involving human subjects in human-robot interaction (HRI) research. The recommended practice particularly aims at providing guidance for emerging researchers in the associated fields of HRI. The recommended practice provides a skeleton design of experiment procedures to outline factors such as the selection, diversification, and demographics-reporting of study volunteers, and includes suggestions for leveraging and properly documenting existing survey tools, metrics, and procedures. This enables a baseline methodology for designing human-subject studies that maintains standards for reporting, enables reproducibility, verification, & validation of studies, and maximizes the likelihood of results being leveraged in other studies.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
