Robot navigation in crowded public spaces is a complex task that requires addressing a
variety of engineering and human factors challenges. These challenges have motivated a …

As mobile robots are increasingly introduced into our daily lives, it grows ever more
imperative that these robots navigate with and among people in a safe and socially …

The human-robot interaction community has developed many methods for robots to navigate
safely and socially alongside humans. However, experimental procedures to evaluate these …

We propose a unified framework for approaching pose prediction, and socially aware robot
navigation, which enables a mobile service robot to safely and socially approach a dynamic …

With the service robots are well used in more and more indoor environments, autonomous
navigation in such a human environment has been explored in recent decades. Different …

With the approaching goal of having robots collaborate in shared human-robot
environments, navigation in this context becomes both crucial and desirable. Recent …

Recently, mobile robots have become important tools in various industries, especially in
logistics. Deep reinforcement learning emerged as an alternative planning method to …

Society is starting to come up with exciting applications for social robots like butlers,
coaches, and waiters. However, these robots face a challenging task: to meet people during …

The widespread use of robots in service fields requires humanoid robots that mimic human
social behaviour. Previous quantitative studies exist in human social behaviour, but …

New robotics applications require robots to complete tasks in social spaces (ie environments
shared with people), thus arising the necessity of enabling robots to operate in a socially …
