This proposal seeks to integrate high dimensional data analysis and visualization tools with off-the-shelf collaboration tools to establish a cyberinfrastructure (CI) for evaluation documentation, data sharing, and cross-study comparisons. Linkages with an existing simulation tool will also be made. We will deploy the prototype CI as an hub for collaborative research virtual organization (VO) in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI). The University of Pittsburgh will develop a data logging module for USARSim that will serve as a reference implementation for HRI oriented data collection and formatting.
