"All for One and One for All": Systematic Data Collection and Sharing to Advance Socially Assistive Robots

We propose a half-day workshop to discuss two critical issues in contemporary research on socially assistive robots: systematizing methods for data collection in user studies and sharing data among researchers. Resolving these two issues can contribute to a speedy uptake of socially assistive robotics research with respect deployment in clinical settings. This workshop will open up discussion on the ways to address these two issues.
