Résumé: As development of robots with the ability to self-assess their proficiency for accomplishing tasks continues to grow, metrics are needed to evaluate the characteristics and performance of these robot systems and their interactions with humans. This proficiency-based human-robot interaction (HRI) use case can occur before, during, or after the performance of a task. This paper presents a set of metrics for this use case, driven by a four stage cyclical interaction flow: 1) robot self-assessment of proficiency (RSA), 2) robot communication of proficiency to the human (RCP), 3) human understanding of proficiency (HUP), and 4) robot perception of the human's intentions, values, and assessments (RPH). This effort leverages work from related fields including explainability, transparency, and introspection, by repurposing metrics under the context of proficiency self-assessment. Considerations for temporal level ( a priori , in situ , and post hoc ) on the metrics are reviewed, as are the connections between metrics within or across stages in the proficiency-based interaction flow. This paper provides a common framework and language for metrics to enhance the development and measurement of HRI in the field of proficiency self-assessment.
