AB The introduction of robots in the real world requiresprevious evaluation of the envisaged performance. Factors likeusability, user experience, social acceptance or societal impactamong others have been taken into account in evaluation frame-works defined during the last years. However, one of the mostimportant factors that needs to be evaluated in any kind ofinteraction is whether all the users are able to work with thesystem with the same opportunities and easiness, and none of thecurrent Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) evaluation frameworksinclude this factor yet. This paper proposes an extension ofa popular HRI evaluation framework, including accessibilityas a new evaluation factor. The proposed approach, namedAUSUS, considers Accessibility, Usability, Social acceptance, Userexperience and Societal impact. This paper presents a use caseof the framework, which is evaluated through a socially assistiverobotic platform created to perform Comprehensive GeriatricAssessment: the CLARC - system. The details of the evaluationprocess in a hospital and a retirement home are reported andthe main difficulties and recommendations of using AUSUS arediscussed.
