End user personalization of social humanoid robots

In this position paper we present some research challenges for end user personalization of social humanoid robots. We introduce the motivations for addressing such challenges and the main features of the type of robots that we want to consider. We discuss some initial research efforts that have recently been put forward in this area, and the type of solutions that have been proposed in order to facilitate the development activities for people without programming experience. We then identify and discuss some research challenges that can be important to address in the near future in order to better exploit such emerging technologies.
