In the era of industrialization and automation, safety is a critical factor that should be
considered during the design and realization of each new system that targets operation in …

The emerging massive/large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (LS-MIMO) systems that
rely on very large antenna arrays have become a hot topic of wireless communications …

A key skill for mobile robots is the ability to navigate efficiently through their environment. In
the case of social or assistive robots, this involves navigating through human crowds …

For many tasks in populated environments, robots need to keep track of current and future
motion states of people. Most approaches to people tracking make weak assumptions on …

People detection is a key issue for robots and intelligent systems sharing a space with
people. Previous works have used cameras and 2D or 3D range finders for this task. In this …

This paper addresses the problem of detecting people in two dimensional range scans.
Previous approaches have mostly used pre-defined features for the detection and tracking of …

Whenever people move through their environments they do not move randomly. Instead,
they usually follow specific trajectories or motion patterns corresponding to their intentions …

Having accurate knowledge of the positions of people around a robot provides rich,
objective and quantitative data that can be highly useful for a wide range of tasks, including …

One of fundamental issues for service robots is human-robot interaction. In order to perform
such a task and provide the desired services, these robots need to detect and track people …

We describe the architecture, algorithms, and experiments with HERB, an autonomous
mobile manipulator that performs useful manipulation tasks in the home. We present new …
