I have done some experiments to classify the performance of the user while driving the robot in an indoor environment. So after successful classification of users behaviour in the power mobility device I would like to validate those experiments. What is state of the art in this field and which methods are relevant?
Which device are you referring to? Power wheelchair? Robotized rollator?
There are many different ways to validate depending on what you are trying to achieve. For example, there are different usability questionnaires like QUEST or PIADS that users can fill for you. Another common approach is to work in a well established test course, like TAMP or WST. There are well accepted metrics, ranging from simple (e.g. task completion time, number of collisions...) to complex (e.g. Intervention level, disagreement..) Everything depends on what you are exactly trying to validate and what device you are using. I wrote some stuff on benchmarking for wheelchairs, but I'm not sure if it applies. Best,
