The importance of conducting extensive user studies has become a fundamental component of HRI research; however, due to the nature of robotics research, such studies often become expensive, time consuming, and limited to constrained demographics. This work presents the Robot Management System, a novel framework for bringing robotic experiments to the web. A detailed description of the open source system, an outline of new security measures, and a use case study of the RMS as a means of conducting user studies is presented. Using a series of navigation and manipulation tasks with a PR2 robot, three user study conditions are compared: users that are co-present with the robot, users that are recruited to the university lab but control the robot from a different room, and remote web-based users. The findings show little statistical differences between usability patterns across these groups, further supporting the use of web-based crowdsourcing techniques for certain types of HRI evaluations."|"" |"HRI" |"crowdsourcing"|"Robotics"|"" |"" |"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"|"" |"Worcester Polytechnic Institute"|"2013-10-08" |"" |"English" |"etd-100813-143754"|"" |"" |"" |"" |"W/"de63c419db5862b6f1e943d9291475ae8584d99e""|"https://digital.wpi.edu/show/n009w240r"
