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 …

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 …

Autonomous mobile robots that operate in environments with people are expected to be
able to deal with human proxemics and social distances. Previous research investigated …

Pedestrians often need to decide between different routes they can use to reach their
intended destinations, both during emergencies and in their daily lives. This route-choice …

Nowadays, mobile robots are playing an important role in different areas of science,
industry, academia and even in everyday life. In this sense, their abilities and behaviours …

When walking in open space, collision avoidance with other pedestrians is a process that
successfully takes place many times. To pass another pedestrian (an interferer) walking …

In this paper, we investigate obstacle avoidance behavior during real walking in a large
immersive projection setup. We analyze the walking behavior of users when avoiding real …

Virtual reality (VR) is now commonly used in many domains because of its ability to provide
a standardized, reproducible and controllable environment. In balance assessment, it can …

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