Autonomous vehicle is a kind of typical complex artificial intelligence system. In current
research of autonomous driving, the most widely adopted technique is to use a basic …

Intelligent construction is an important construction trend. With the growing number of
intelligent autonomous systems implemented in the construction area, understanding and …

Robots accompanying humans is one of the core capacities every service robot deployed in
urban settings should have. We present a novel robot companion approach based on the so …

We present a method to predict long-term motion of pedestrians, modeling their behavior as
jump-Markov processes with their goal a hidden variable. Assuming approximately rational …

As more robots are being deployed into human environments, a human-aware navigation
planner needs to handle multiple contexts that occur in indoor and outdoor environments. In …

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 …

Pedestrian trajectory prediction is a critical research area with numerous domains, eg, blind
navigation, autonomous driving systems, and service robots. There exist two challenges in …

Active pedestrian collision avoidance (APCA) systems can significantly reduce road injuries
and thus have attracted considerable attention from both the automobile and the …

A robot navigating in dense crowds should react to the motion of nearby pedestrians.
However, it could lead to unsafe, inefficient, and illegible robot motions. This article presents …

This paper presents a novel approach for robot navigation in crowded urban environments
where people and objects are moving simultaneously while a robot is navigating. Avoiding …
