With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments, the ability
of such systems to perceive, understand, and anticipate human behavior becomes …

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) must share space with pedestrians, both in carriageway cases
such as cars at pedestrian crossings and off-carriageway cases such as delivery vehicles …

The recent progress in autonomous vehicle research and development has led to
increasingly widespread testing of fully autonomous vehicles on public roads, where …

Social robots working in public space often stimulate children's curiosity. However,
sometimes children also show abusive behavior toward robots. In our case studies, we …

This paper presents an intention-aware online planning approach for autonomous driving
amid many pedestrians. To drive near pedestrians safely, efficiently, and smoothly …

We present a novel robot social-aware navigation framework to walk side-by-side with
people in crowded urban areas in a safety and natural way. The new system includes the …

Generating accurate and efficient predictions for the motion of the humans present in the
scene is key to the development of effective motion planning algorithms for robots moving in …

Urban living experience is centered around public buildings where many pedestrians are
engaging with services and functions provided in the form of amenities. Knowledge of …

This paper presents a new framework for how autonomous social robots approach and
accompany people in urban environments. The method discussed allows the robot to …

In recent years, commercial and research interest in service robots working in everyday
environments has grown. These devices are expected to move autonomously in crowded …
