Navigation is a basic skill for autonomous robots. In the last years human–robot interaction
has become an important research field that spans all of the robot capabilities including …

The second edition of a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of mobile robotics, from
algorithms to mechanisms. Mobile robots range from the Mars Pathfinder mission's …

In this paper, we present an algorithm for generating complex dynamically feasible
maneuvers for autonomous vehicles traveling at high speeds over large distances. Our …

Mobile robots that operate in a shared environment with humans need the ability to predict
the movements of people to better plan their navigation actions. In this paper, we present a …

We present the motion planning framework for an autonomous vehicle navigating through
urban environments. Such environments present a number of motion planning challenges …

In this paper we present Robox, a mobile robot designed for operation in a mass exhibition
and the experience we made with its installation at the Swiss National Exhibition Expo. 02 …

One major design goal in human-robot interaction is that the robots behave in an intelligent
manner, preferably in a similar way as humans. This constraint must also be taken into …

The proposed approach in this paper involves a new grid-based map model called “memory
grid” and a new behavior-based navigation method called “minimum risk method”. The …

For robots to be a part of our daily life, they need to be able to navigate among crowds not
only safely but also in a socially compliant fashion. This is a challenging problem because …

This paper relates first experiences using a state-of-the-art, time-of-flight sensor that is able
to deliver 3D images. The properties and capabilities of the sensor make it a potential …
