A wide range of human–robot collaborative applications in diverse domains, such as
manufacturing, health care, the entertainment industry, and social interactions, require an …

Foresighted, human-aware navigation is a prerequisite for service robots acting in indoor
environments. In this paper, we present a novel human-aware navigation approach that …

Mobile robots are envisioned to provide more and more services in a shared environment
with humans. A wide range of such tasks demand that the robot follows a human leader …

We present an approach to learn optimal navigation actions for assistance tasks in which the
robot aims at efficiently reaching the final navigation goal of a human where service has to …

In many situations, users walk on typical paths between specific destinations at which the
service of a mobile robot is needed. Depending on the environment and the paths, step-by …

The main objective of this paper is to describe a class of polynomial vector fields f, whose
associated dynamic system has one or more affine varieties as f-invariant and attractive sets …

A lot of methods have been proposed for 2D path planning of mobile robot, which could be a
mobile platform or a wheelchair, in planar maps. This paper addresses a concept of the …

In this paper, we present an approach that relies on machine learning techniques to follow
people efficiently during robotic assistance tasks, in which the robot is mainly interested in …

Abstract Service robotics is a rapidly growing area of interest in robotics research. Service
robots inhabit human-populated environments and carry out specific tasks. The goal of this …

Mobile Robot Navigation techniques are important for path calculation towards a target,
avoiding collisions in an unknown environment. The existing robot navigation techniques …
