Human-aware robot navigation: A survey

Human-aware robot navigation: A survey

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 perception, reasoning, learning, manipulation and navigation. For navigation, the presence of humans requires novel approaches that take into account the constraints of human comfort as well as social rules. Beside...

Iterative Human-Aware Mobile Robot Navigation

‘ Abstract—Mobile robot navigation in human populated environments has been widely studied in the past two decades. Significant improvements in this technology suggest a promising future for introducing mobile service robots in human workspaces that help with daily activities. State-of-the-art approaches have shown real-world deployments of robots that can safely navigate through dense crowds [...

Cooperative and Human-aware Robot Navigation in Dynamic Environments

Human Aware Robot Navigation in Semantically Annotated Domestic Environments

In the near future, the seamless human robot cohabitation can be achieved as long as the robots to be released in the market attain socially acceptable behavior. Therefore, robots need to learn and react appropriately, should they be able to share the same space with people and to adapt their operation to human’s activity. The goal of this work is to introduce a human aware global path planning...

Adaptive Human-Aware Robot Navigation in Close Proximity to Humans

For robots to be able coexist with people in future everyday human environments, they must be able to act in a safe, natural and comfortable way. This work addresses the motion of a mobile robot in an environment, where humans potentially want to interact with it. The designed system consists of three main components: a Kalman filter‐ based algorithm that derives a personʹs state ...
