Using Virtual Reality to Simulate Human-Robot Emergency Evacuation Scenarios
Alan R. Wagner, Colin Holbrook, Daniel Holman +5
This paper describes our recent effort to use virtual reality to simulate threatening emergency evacuation scenarios in which a robot guides a person to an exit. Our prior work has…
Multi-Robot-Assisted Human Crowd Evacuation using Navigation Velocity Fields
Tongjia Zheng, Zhenyuan Yuan, Mollik Nayyar +3
This work studies a robot-assisted crowd evacuation problem where we control a small group of robots to guide a large human crowd to safe locations. The challenge lies in how to mo…
If you Cheat, I Cheat: Cheating on a Collaborative Task with a Social Robot
Ali Ayub, Huiqing Hu, Guangwei Zhou +4
Robots may soon play a role in higher education by augmenting learning environments and managing interactions between instructors and learners. Little, however, is known about how…
Don't Get Yourself into Trouble! Risk-aware Decision-Making for Autonomous Vehicles
Kasra Mokhtari, Alan R. Wagner
Risk is traditionally described as the expected likelihood of an undesirable outcome, such as collisions for autonomous vehicles. Accurately predicting risk or potentially risky si…
Safe Deep Q-Network for Autonomous Vehicles at Unsignalized Intersection
Kasra Mokhtari, Alan R. Wagner
We propose a safe DRL approach for autonomous vehicle (AV) navigation through crowds of pedestrians while making a left turn at an unsignalized intersection. Our method uses two lo…
Pedestrian Collision Avoidance for Autonomous Vehicles at Unsignalized Intersection Using Deep Q-Network
Kasra Mokhtari, Alan R. Wagner
Prior research has extensively explored Autonomous Vehicle (AV) navigation in the presence of other vehicles, however, navigation among pedestrians, who are the most vulnerable ele…
