Abstract Service robots such as vacuum-cleaning robots have already entered our homes . But in the future there will also be robots in public spaces. These robots may often reach their system limitations while performing their day-to-day work. To address this issue we suggest asking passersby for help. We enhanced an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot to set up a low-budget Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) evaluation platform designed to investigate human-robot interaction (HRI). Furthermore, we suggest how HRI can be investigated in public spaces with a robot in need. An early evaluation shows that our prototype is a promising approach to explore how robots can cope with their limitations by asking somebody for help.
