This paper proposes a model of approach behavior with which a robot can initiate
conversation with people who are walking. We developed the model by learning from the …

For a robot providing services to people in a public space such as a shopping mall, it is
important to distinguish potential customers, such as window shoppers, from other people …

The investigation of pedestrian spatio-temporal behaviour is of particular interest in many
different research fields. Disciplines like travel behaviour research and tourism research …

Because they have neither well defined shapes nor well defined behaviors, detecting,
tracking and classifying pedestrians in a dense urban environment from a moving vehicle …

In urban environments, pedestrian detection is a challenging task for automotive research,
where algorithms suffer from a lack of reliability due to many false detections. This paper …

Laser based tracking systems have been developed for mobile robotics and intelligent
surveillance areas. Existing systems estimate only human positions. In this paper, we …

抄録 For a robot providing services to people in a public space such as a train station or a
shopping mall, it is important to distinguish potential customers, such as window-shoppers …

近年, 移動ロボットの自己位置推定システムにおいて, 識別力に優れる高次特徴ランドマークの高
精度性・頑健性が明らかになってきた. しかし, その一方で, 同システムの高次元性に起因し …
