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 …

Mobile robots are increasingly populating our human environments. To interact with humans
in a socially compliant way, these robots need to understand and comply with mutually …

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 …

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 …

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

The goal of this research is to enable mobile robots to navigate through crowded
environments such as indoor shop** malls, airports, or downtown side walks. The key …

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

Robot motion planners are increasingly being equipped with an intriguing property: human
likeness. This property can enhance human–robot interactions and is essential for a …

Real-time navigation in dense human environments is a challenging problem in robotics.
Most existing path planners fail to account for the dynamics of pedestrians because …

This paper considers the problem of autonomous robot navigation in dynamic and
congested environments. The predictive navigation paradigm is proposed where …
