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 …

Navigation lies at the core of social robotics, enabling robots to navigate and interact
seamlessly in human environments. The primary focus of human-aware robot navigation is …

As an increasing number of mobile robots are envisioned to work and interact with humans
in construction workspaces, it becomes critical that robots' spatial behaviors align with the …

Increasingly autonomous robots become more and more prevalent in daily life and their
proximity to humans may affect human well-being and comfort. Consequently, researchers …

Mobile robots are increasingly populating homes, hospitals, shop** malls, factory floors,
and other human environments. Human society has social norms that people mutually …

This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of combining Human-Like and
Machine-Like behaviors for a robot taking a shared elevator with a bystander as part of an …

The term affordance has been inconsistently applied both in robotics and communication.
While the robotics perspective is mostly object-based, the communication science view is …

In this paper we present linguistic variation in the construal of “space” in different registers.
We focus in particular on variation in the lexicogrammatical construal of space across texts …

We argue that social robots should be designed to behave similarly to humans, and
furthermore that social norms constitute the core of human interaction. Whether robots can …

This paper presents a human-aware navigation system for mobile robots targeted to
cooperative assembly in intra-factory logistics scenarios. To improve overall efficiency of the …
