The expected adoption of robots in our society brings new technological challenges related to the utility and usability that these robots can provide to their potential users. In this paper, we discuss the main issues of current robot programming frameworks and interfaces for the development of usable and flexible end-user applications. In order to tackle these issues, we present Node Primitives (NEP), a robot programming framework aimed at enabling the creation of usable, flexible and cross-platform end-user programming (EUP) interfaces for robots. The applicability of NEP has been tested with the development of a block-based EUP interface.

Abstract
The expected adoption of robots in our society brings new technological challenges related to the utility and usability that these robots can provide to their potential users. In this paper, we discuss the main issues of current robot programming frameworks and interfaces for the development of usable and flexible end-user applications. In order to tackle these issues, we present Node Primitives (NEP), a robot programming framework aimed at enabling the creation of usable, flexible and cross-platform end-user programming (EUP) interfaces for robots. The applicability of NEP has been tested with the development of a block-based EUP interface.
