Humanoid social robots are becoming accessible to university laboratories beyond well-funded robotics groups, yet structured guidance for deploying them in student-led usability research remains scarce. This paper presents a reusable deployment framework built around Mads, the pib humanoid robot operated at the univers...
Background: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in socially sensitive contexts, raising concerns about how their outputs reflect or reproduce socially aversive response patterns. Prior research has focused on socially desirable traits (e.g., the Big Five), while less attention has been given to the D...
This paper presents a reusable deployment framework built around Mads, the pib humanoid robot operated at the university's Usability Engineering and Verification Lab, and designs a browser-based Wizard-of-Oz control setup that enables students to conduct live user studies without requiring robotics or programming exper...
