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 …

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 …

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 …

Interactive driving scenarios, such as lane changes, merges and unprotected turns, are
some of the most challenging situations for autonomous driving. Planning in interactive …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

With the robots tending to accumulate more and more capabilities beyond the level of acting
in a deterministic fashion, the idea of introducing them into our every day lives seems to be …

Safe navigation is a fundamental capability for robots that move among pedestrians. The
traditional approach in robotics to attain such a capability has treated pedestrians as moving …

We present ProxEmo, a novel end-to-end emotion prediction algorithm for socially aware
robot navigation among pedestrians. Our approach predicts the perceived emotions of a …

We present a real-time algorithm, SocioSense, for socially-aware navigation of a robot
amongst pedestrians. Our approach computes time-varying behaviors of each pedestrian …
