End-User Development for Human-Robot Interaction: Results and Trends in an Emerging Field

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive survey on End-User Development for Human-Robot Interaction, examining existing literature to validate findings and identify unexplored areas for future research. It explores the importance of End-User Development in allowing non-expert users to customise robots, covering methodologies, evaluation methods, robot types, and application contexts. The findings reveal various End-User Development approaches, evaluation practices, and robots application domains, leading to discussions on the untapped potential of End-User Development in enhancing Human-Robot Interaction across diverse fields. The document aims to provide groundwork for future studies, highlighting the necessity for new evaluation standards and greater customisation in robotic technologies.
