Principles and Guidelines for Evaluating Social Robot Navigation Algorithms
Anthony Francis, Claudia Pérez-D'Arpino, Chengshu Li +28
A major challenge to deploying robots widely is navigation in human-populated environments, commonly referred to as social robot navigation. While the field of social navigation ha…
Move Beyond Trajectories: Distribution Space Coupling for Crowd Navigation
Muchen Sun, Francesca Baldini, Peter Trautman +1
Cooperatively avoiding collision is a critical functionality for robots navigating in dense human crowds, failure of which could lead to either overaggressive or overcautious behav…
Core Challenges of Social Robot Navigation: A Survey
Christoforos Mavrogiannis, Francesca Baldini, Allan Wang +4
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 great…
Dynamic Channel: A Planning Framework for Crowd Navigation
Chao Cao, Pete Trautman, Soshi Iba
Real-time navigation in dense human environments is a challenging problem in robotics. Most existing path planners fail to account for the dynamics of pedestrians because introduci…
Manifold Relevance Determination: Learning the Latent Space of Robotics
Pete Trautman
In this article we present the basics of manifold relevance determination (MRD) as introduced in \cite{mrd}, and some applications where the technology might be of particular use.…
Sparse Interacting Gaussian Processes: Efficiency and Optimality Theorems of Autonomous Crowd Navigation
Pete Trautman
We study the sparsity and optimality properties of crowd navigation and find that existing techniques do not satisfy both criteria simultaneously: either they achieve optimality wi…
