Research Study Participants Needed for Study on ROS Code Understanding

Are you interested in robotics and software development? Do you have experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS) and C++? We, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, are seeking participants for a research study focused on understanding how developers comprehend the behavior of ROS components based on source code and visual diagrams.

Who Can Participate:

  • Individuals aged 18 and older living in the USA

  • Participants with a background in programming in C++ and robotics software development with the ROS framework

What Participation Involves:

  • Reading source code of open-source ROS components and/or visual diagrams

  • Answering questions regarding your understanding of the behavior of the components

  • Participating in a short interview to discuss your experience and feedback

  • The study will take approximately 60-90 min in total

  • Sessions are conducted online via Zoom

Benefits of Participation:

Contribute to research that aims to improve the robotics development experience

Receive an Amazon gift card of value 20 USD if you complete the study
