End-user development (EUD) represents a key step towards making robotics accessible for experts and nonexperts alike. Within academia, researchers investigate novel ways that EUD tools can capture, represent, visualize, analyze, and test developer intent. At the same time, industry researchers increasingly build and ship programming tools that enable customers to interact with their robots. However, despite this growing interest, the role of EUD within HRI is not well defined. EUD struggles to situate itself within a growing array of alternative approaches to application development, such as robot learning and teleoperation. EUD further struggles due to the wide range of individuals who can be considered end users, such as independent third-party application developers, consumers, hobbyists, or even employees of the robot manufacturer. Key questions remain such as how EUD is justified over alternate approaches to application development, which contexts EUD is most suited for, who the target users of an EUD system are, and where interaction between a human and a robot takes place, amongst many other questions. We seek to address these challenges and questions by organizing the first End-User Development for Human-Robot Interaction (EUD4HRI) workshop at the 2024 International Conference of Human-Robot Interaction. The workshop will bring together researchers with a wide range of expertise across academia and industry, spanning perspectives from multiple subfields of robotics, with the primary goal being a consensus of perspectives about the role that EUD must play within human-robot interaction.

翻译：终端用户开发（EUD）是实现机器人技术普及（既面向专家也面向非专家）的关键一步。在学术界，研究人员探索EUD工具如何捕捉、表示、可视化、分析和测试开发者意图的新方法。与此同时，产业界研究人员也在不断构建和发布编程工具，使客户能够与机器人进行交互。然而，尽管关注度日益增长，EUD在人机交互（HRI）中的角色尚未明确界定。EUD在日益多样化的应用开发替代方法（如机器人学习和遥操作）中难以定位自身。此外，由于可被视为终端用户的群体范围广泛（例如独立的第三方应用开发者、消费者、爱好者甚至机器人制造商员工），EUD的发展进一步受阻。关键问题依然存在，例如：EUD相比于其他应用开发方法的合理性何在？EUD最适合哪些应用场景？目标用户群体是谁？人机交互发生在何处？以及诸多其他问题。我们旨在通过组织2024年国际人机交互会议上的首届“面向终端用户的人机交互开发”（EUD4HRI）研讨会来应对这些挑战与问题。该研讨会将汇聚学术界与产业界具有广泛专业背景的研究人员，涵盖机器人学多个子领域的视角，核心目标是就EUD在人机交互中必须扮演的角色达成共识。
