  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.
