OVERVIEW: 

End-User Development (EUD) is an exciting and growing field within Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), and represents a key step towards making robotics accessible for novice robot users. 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 interface with their robots.


Despite this increasing interest, the role of EUD within HRI is not well defined. EUD struggles to situate itself within a growing array of alternate approaches to application development, such as learning from demonstration (LfD), planning, teleoperation, and personalization. EUD further poses the question, “Who is the end-user?” Novice end-users might include consumers using a robot in their home, caregivers, factory employees, bystanders in public spaces, or even hobbyists, to name a few examples. 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 end-users of an EUD system are, and where does the interaction between a human and a robot take place, amongst many, many other questions.


We seek to address these questions and challenges at the “End-User Development for Human-Robot Interaction” (EUD4HRI) half-day workshop at the 2024 International Conference of Human-Robot Interaction. The workshop aims to 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 more clearly defined scope for EUD and recommendations for the standardization of EUD use cases, target users, and terminology.


The workshop will be hybrid format, including both in-person and remote attendees.

    Call for papers – held in conjunction with IEEE FG 2024

    February 5th, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise
    1st International Workshop on Synthetic Data for Face and Gesture
    Analysis (SD-FGA 2024)
    Held in the scope of IEEE FG 2024
    27 or 31 May 2024 (TBD), Istanbul, Turkey
    https://sites.google.com/view/sd-fga2024/

    Paper submission: 17 March 2024, 11:59pm PST
    *****************************

    *** Call for Papers ***
    Recent advancements in generative models within the realms of computer
    vision and artificial intelligence have revolutionized the way
    researchers approach data-driven tasks. The advent of sophisticated
    generative models, such as GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), VAEs
    (Variational Autoencoders), or more recently diffusion models, has
    empowered practitioners to create synthetic data that closely mirrors
    real-world scenarios. These models enable the generation of
    high-fidelity images and sequences, laying the foundation for
    groundbreaking applications in face and gesture analysis. The
    significance of these generative models lies in their ability to produce
    synthetic data that is remarkably realistic, thereby mitigating
    challenges associated with data scarcity and privacy concerns. As a
    result, the utilization of synthetic data has become increasingly
    prevalent in various research domains, offering a versatile and ethical
    alternative for training and testing machine learning algorithms.

    This workshop aims to delve into the diverse applications of synthetic
    data in the realm of face and gesture analysis. Participants will
    explore how synthetic datasets have been instrumental in training facial
    recognition systems, enhancing emotion detection models, and refining
    gesture recognition algorithms. The workshop will showcase exemplary use
    cases where the integration of synthetic data has not only overcome data
    limitations but has also fostered the development of more robust and
    accurate models. As researchers increasingly recognize the potential of
    synthetic datasets in shaping the future of computer vision and machine
    learning, there arises a demand for a collaborative platform where ideas
    can be exchanged, methodologies shared, and challenges addressed. This
    workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and
    practical implementation, fostering a community of experts and
    enthusiasts dedicated to advancing the frontiers of synthetic data in
    face and gesture analysis.

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
    + Novel generative models for face and gesture synthesis
    + Label generation for synthetic data
    + Information leakage in synthetics data
    + Data factories for training biometric (detection, landmarking,
    recognition) models
    + Synthetic data for data augmentation
    + Data synthesis for bias mitigation and fairness
    + Quality assessment for synthetic data
    + Synthetic data for privacy protection
    + Novel applications of synthetic data
    + New synthetic datasets and performance benchmarks
    + Applications of synthetic data, e.g., deepfakes, virtual try-on, face
    and gesture editing
