A survey on the design space of end-user-oriented languages for specifying robotic missions

Abstract Mobile robots are becoming increasingly important in society. Fulfilling complex missions different contexts and environments, promising instruments to support our everyday live. As such, the task of defining robot’s mission is moving from professional developers roboticists end-users. However, with current state-of-the-art, non-trivial typically requires dedicated programming skills. Since end-users usually lack such skills, many commercial nowadays equipped environments domain-specific languages tailored for software an relevant criterion when buying or choosing robots. Improving these specifying toward simplicity flexibility crucial. To this end, we need improve empirical understanding state-of-the-art their environments. In paper, contribute direction. We present a survey 30 specification mobile that come visual end-user-oriented language. explore design space identify concepts, organize them as features feature model. believe results valuable practitioners researchers designing next generation vibrant domain
