UI Study Script

Test Script for the GUI vs TUI user study. Set ROS remote master for it, csv files will be stored in the execute directory. Python 2.7 interpreter, ROS Kinetic.

Make sure the button messages for the tangible interface are installed.

git clone https://github.com/PatrickCPE/ui_study_script.git ~/catkin_ws/src/  
cd ui_study_script/scripts
mkdir study_logging  

# Terminal 1
python scripts/study_logger.py

# Terminal 2
python script/system_state_logger.py

system_state_logger.py will prompt the researcher performing the user study with what object to select, and to enter information about the study. logs will be saved in ui_study_script/scripts/study_logging/

ui_study_script's Issues

CSVs get weird when switching interface types

If we look at the log file from the last task before switching UIs, it looks like this:

2022-04-18 15:23:03.217233,pick,DriveMode,GatherPickCloud
2022-04-18 15:23:03.218901,,GatherPickCloud,ObjectSelection
2022-04-18 15:23:06.762832,yes,ObjectSelection,SegmentObject
2022-04-18 15:23:07.764707,,SegmentObject,ObjectConfirmation
2022-04-18 15:23:11.042435,yes,ObjectConfirmation,DriveMode
2022-04-18 15:24:04.966430,begin, image_unzoomed, begin_button

The last line is actually the first line of the next log file.
