hri-experiments
Use when designing or auditing the human-subjects study at the heart of an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper — choosing between/within-subjects designs, running Wizard-of-Oz honestly, powering the sample, reporting statistics with effect sizes and qualitative rigor, selecting validated scales, adding manipulation checks, pre-registering, and meeting HRI's human-participants ethics obligations.

# HRI Experiments
The human-subjects study is HRI's currency. A brilliant robot behavior with a broken study fails;
a modest behavior with an airtight study can win a Best Paper. HRI reviewers — drawn from
psychology and HCI as well as robotics — hold study design to a standard closer to experimental
psychology than to a robotics benchmark. This skill covers the design decisions that decide the
paper, and HRI's specific ethics obligations. It pairs with the shared reporting kit in
[`../../resources/code/README.md`](../../resources/code/README.md).
## Match the evidence to the claim
Decide what *kind* of claim you are making, then design to it:
