In this position paper, we propose to apply proxemics for public guidance in urban spaces. We show that the proxemics dimensions already are parts of public guidance systems, and we argue that a common language for urban proxemics already exists.

Smart Cities require reliable means for managing installations that offer essential services to the citizens. In this paper we focus on the problem of evacuation of smart buildings in case of emergencies. In particular, we present an abstract architecture for situation-aware evacuation guidance systems in smart buildings, describe its key modules in detail, and provide some concrete examples of...

This paper presents a model for Flexible Interactive Guidance System (FIGS) that provides people with instructions about natural tasks. The model is developed on the basis of a phenomenological analysis of human guidance and illustrated by a system that gives directions in geographical domains. The instructions are provided through a dialog adapted both in form and content to user's needs. The ...

in this paper, a new guidance method for surface to surface ballistic missiles without mandatory engine cut-off will be presented. the complexity of solid fuel engine cut-off demands a comprehensive method for guiding these missiles. in the method presented in this paper, a certain guidance law is applied such that by transmitting appropriate commands to the control system, by changing the miss...

This paper describes our research work towards the development of an optical guidance system for multiple mobile robots in an indoor environment. The guidance system operates with an environmental model, communicates with mobile robots and indicates their target positions by means of a light projection from a laser pointer onto the ground. Processing the image data from a CCD color camera mount...
