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 …

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 …

We present an ample description of a socially compliant mobile robotic platform, which is
developed in the EU-funded project SPENCER. The purpose of this robot is to assist, inform …

A key skill for mobile robots is the ability to navigate efficiently through their environment. In
the case of social or assistive robots, this involves navigating through human crowds …

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 …

Having accurate knowledge of the positions of people around a robot provides rich,
objective and quantitative data that can be highly useful for a wide range of tasks, including …

This paper presents a system for online learning of human classifiers by mobile service
robots using 3D LiDAR sensors, and its experimental evaluation in a large indoor public …

Recent progress in both AI and robotics have enabled the development of general purpose
robot platforms that are capable of executing a wide variety of complex, temporally extended …

Tracking people is a key technology for robots and intelligent systems in human
environments. Many person detectors, filtering methods and data association algorithms for …

We conducted a 2x2 between-subjects experiment to examine the effects of two orientation
and two gaze behaviors during group conversations for a mobile, low degree-of-freedom …
