In recent years, personal mobility vehicles have been required to operate autonomously in
places with numerous pedestrians. A navigation method using a single human-following …

In order to overcome the problems of collision avoidance and the pedestrian target loss in
pedestrian-following system. This paper proposes a Collision-Free pedestrian following …

Electric wheelchair in a crowded place must avoid many pedestrians and drive safely. In
complex environments, the tracking algorithm of a pedestrian is sometimes more effective …

Modern robots need to interact with human and move around human environment, in places
such as museums, restaurants, or supermarkets. Therefore, robots should have social …

Safety is the most important to the mobile robots that coexist with human. There are many
studies that investigate obstacle detection and collision avoidance by predicting obstacles' …

During the autonomous navigation of personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) in pedestrian
spaces, avoiding collisions with pedestrians walking nearby is necessary. The avoidance …

In this paper, we propose a general framework of a distributed vision system combining
pedestrian features with a static map of a mobile robot. In indoor environment with complex …

Mobile robots are expected to move safely and efficiently in socially-compliant ways in
dense crowds. In this paper, a unified multiple-motion-mode framework is proposed to …

An obstacle avoidance method for use in person following for vision-based autonomous
land vehicle (ALV) guidance is proposed. This method is based on the use of vehicle …

This paper discusses 2-dimensional (2-D) pedestrian motion prediction and autonomous
braking control for enhancing the collision avoidance performance of an active safety …
