contents The human-robot interaction (HRI) field has traditionally used Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) controlled robots to explore navigation, conversational dynamics, human-in-the-loop interactions, and more to explore appropriate robot behaviors in everyday settings. However, existing WoZ tools are often limited to one context, making them less adaptable across different settings, users, and robotic platforms. To mitigate these issues, we introduce a Context-Adaptable Robot Interface System (CARIS) that combines advanced robotic capabilities such teleoperation, human perception, human-robot dialogue, and multimodal data recording. Through pilot studies, we demonstrate the potential of CARIS to WoZ control a robot in two contexts: 1) mental health companion and as a 2) tour guide. Furthermore, we identified areas of improvement for CARIS, including smoother integration between movement and communication, clearer functionality separation, recommended prompts, and one-click communication options to enhance the usability wizard control of CARIS. This project offers a publicly available, context-adaptable tool for the HRI community, enabling researchers to streamline data-driven approaches to intelligent robot behavior.
