1		-Regarding conducting studies in Human-Robot Collaboration, we have gathered the following information:

3		-Firstly, focusing on the paper //Conducting Studies in Human-Robot Interaction, //many conclusions could be drawn when it comes to relevant evaluation methods in human-robot interaction studies. The relevant takeaways for our study regarded that it is essential to use three or more methods of evaluation to establish a study's validity and that additionally, it is also important to determine the appropriate sample size necessary to obtain significant results. [1] At this stage in our research, evaluation methods are really important to consider and this definitely aids us going forward.

5		-Further, in order to conduct a successful HRI study the planning and design stages are really important. Here, we tried to consider what type of evaluation and what kind of study would fit our objective the best and we have considered either within-subjects design or between-subject design. We are still considering the time, the learning effect, and potential frustrations that might come if participants have too many similar interactions with the robot. The between-subjects design might be preferable in this regard, but the results could potentially be affected by the difference among the participants to a larger extent [1].
	5	+- Many relevant things about evaluation methods in human-robot interaction studies were described. Not only were different examples of studies highlighted, but also how these were evaluated. The key takeaways here are that: "It is essential to use three or more methods of evaluation to establish study validity. Additionally, it is important to determine the appropriate sample size necessary to obtain statistically significant results." Evaluation methods are also very important for us to consider as we go forward with our design.

7		-Another important aspect highlighted in this study is location and environment. It is mentioned that it is crucial that the study reflects the environment where the application is meant to be used and that conditions should be simulated accordingly and that this also ties into the choice of robot for the study [1]. In our case, it is important that we try to simulate the movement and walking of the robot together with the person. This means we need to consider a space that allows for some movement of the robot and participant together. Our goal is to simulate a walk in the garden and it is therefore important that we can mimic these conditions of a walk as closely as we can.
	7	+- In order to conduct a successful HRI study the planning and design stages are also really important. It is essential to determine what type of study will be conducted and what kind of study it will be. For our own study, either within-subjects design or between-subjects design is probably preferred. Which one it will be is not quite settled, since we are still considering the time, learning effect and potential frustrations from similar interactions with the robot. The between-subjects design might be cleaner in this regard, but the results could potentially be affected by the differences among the participants to a larger extent.

9		-Furthermore, the exemplar study provided [1] was very useful to see a complete structure of a study, performed according to the guidelines. Conducting proper and successful studies is really important for the general field of HRI, since it is rather new, and these studies are always an important step in further normalizing and accepting robots as a part of society and as a helpful component in our lives [1], which is important to remember and hopefully something we can make a small contribution to through completing this course.

This also ties into the choice of robots for the study. In our case, it is important that we try to simulate movement of the robot and the human together and how that could work, which means we need a space that allows for some travel and some movement together with the participant.

20	20	- Not only are the robots own communicative abilities important when it comes to human-robot collaboration, but also the robot's ability to interpret and take in the cues and communication given/displayed by the human. This is central for our project also. This is usually aided by robots looking more humanoid, which for elderly care or for PwD's is very likely to be very important, to make sure that interacting with the robot feels natural and does not stray too far away from looking at or interacting with a human.

22	22	- It is important to consider how exactly these cues and things will be taken in by the robot, what kind of sensors cameras etc will be responsible for it. This is also something we need to consider in our design, especially with the pepper robot who also has a tablet on the chest.
