Traditionally, usability inspection methods have been applied for improving the performance of man-machine interactions. In particular, one of the most popular techniques for usability inspection is the heuristic evaluation method. This method has been applied in the past in robotic interfaces for analyzing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that manipulate robots. In this work we propose an extension of this method for improving usability in direct multimodal human-robot interactions without the use of intermediate interfaces like GUIs.
