ABSTRACT
As robots become more ubiquitous in our modern world, the expectation that humans and robots will interact physically, conceptually, and emotionally in everyday life necessitates the development of validated technologies that are safe, secure, and effective. Regardless, robotics is still considered by many as being inaccessible, even as their availability increases. In alignment with the 2023 HRI Conference's theme of ?HRI for all," this fifth installment of the Workshop on Test Methods and Metrics for Effective HRI is focused on addressing this accessibility disparity. Specifically, this year's workshop presents and addresses issues regarding 1) human factors for diverse populations, 2) accessibility of standards and specifications, and 3) enabling equal and equitable access to research results & data. The goal of this workshop is to enable increased accessibility to HRI research and resources by addressing the metrology that is used to verify and validate HRI performance.
