- It is a long-held belief that robotic programming requires specialist expertise. Through the construction of a novel Scratch-like visual-programming language, this paper provides user-defined human-robot interaction patterns and reports on user studies to measure the improved usability. The robotic programming language proposed was demonstrated to be implementation-neutral, generic, and acceptable to end-users at Bletchley Park (Exhibition Coordinator, details on request), which lowers the barrier of adoption for STEM education. This model-driven visual programming approach is being considered by Huawei (Director, Trustworthy Labs, Huawei, details on request) and Itemis.de as an extension to model-driven visual development of secure embedded systems.
