Intelligent vehicles have increased their capabilities for highly and, even fully, automated
driving under controlled environments. Scene information is received using onboard …

In the context of a growing interest in modelling human behavior to increase the robots'
social abilities, this article presents a survey related to socially-aware robot navigation. It …

We consider the problem of navigating a mobile robot through dense human crowds. We
begin by exploring a fundamental impediment to classical motion planning algorithms called …

In dynamic environments crowded with people, robot motion planning becomes difficult due
to the complex and tightly-coupled interactions between agents. Trajectory planning …

Robotic mapping provides spatial information for autonomous agents. Depending on the
tasks they seek to enable, the maps created range from simple 2D representations of the …

With the growing demand of personal assistance to mobility and mobile service robotics,
robot navigation systems must be¿ aware¿ of the social conventions followed by people …

The vision-based mechanisms that pedestrians in social groups use to navigate in dynamic
environments, avoiding obstacles and each others, have been subject to a large amount of …

Moving obstacle avoidance is a fundamental requirement for any robot operating in real
environments, where pedestrians, bicycles, and cars are present. In this paper, we propose …

The growing variety and complexity of marine research and application oriented tasks
requires unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to operate fully autonomously over long time …

In this article, we propose a novel safety specification tool, called the distributionally robust
risk map (DR-risk map), for a mobile robot operating in a learning-enabled environment …
