text: In this paper we introduce the core results of the project on software development for social robotics systems. The usability of maintenance and control features is crucial for many kinds of systems, but in the case of social robotics we also have to take into account that (1) the humanoid robot physically interacts with humans, (2) the conversation with children might have different requirements in comparison to the conversation with adults. The results of our work were implement for the humanoid PAL REEM robot, but their core ideas can be applied for other types of humanoid robots. We developed a web-based solution that supports the management of robot-guided tours, provides recommendations for the users as well as allows for a visual analysis of the data on previous tours.
  @cite_12: We present a novel design framework enabling the development of social robotics applications by cross-disciplinary teams of programmers and interaction designers. By combining a modular back-end software architecture with an easy-to-use graphical interface for developing interaction sequences, this system enables programmers and designers to work in parallel to develop robot applications and tune the subtle details of social behaviors. In this paper, we describe the structure of our design framework, and we present an experimental evaluation of our system showing that it increases the effectiveness of programmerdesigner teams developing social robot applications.
