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…
Automatic Sign Reading and Localization for Semantic Mapping with an Office Robot
David Balaban, Justin Hart
Semantic mapping is the task of providing a robot with a map of its environment beyond the open, navigable space of traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorit…
Socially Compliant Navigation Dataset (SCAND): A Large-Scale Dataset of Demonstrations for Social Navigation
Haresh Karnan, Anirudh Nair, Xuesu Xiao +6
Social navigation is the capability of an autonomous agent, such as a robot, to navigate in a 'socially compliant' manner in the presence of other intelligent agents such as humans…
Efficient Placard Discovery for Semantic Mapping During Frontier Exploration
David Balaban, Harshavardhan Jagannathan, Henry Liu +1
Semantic mapping is the task of providing a robot with a map of its environment beyond the open, navigable space of traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorit…
AI-HRI 2021 Proceedings
Reuth Mirsky, Megan Zimmerman, Muneed Ahmad +10
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Symposium has been a successful venue of discussion and collaboration since 2014. During that time, these symposi…
Incorporating Gaze into Social Navigation
Justin Hart, Reuth Mirsky, Xuesu Xiao +1
Most current approaches to social navigation focus on the trajectory and position of participants in the interaction. Our current work on the topic focuses on integrating gaze into…
Conflict Avoidance in Social Navigation -- a Survey
Reuth Mirsky, Xuesu Xiao, Justin Hart +1
