Validating Virtual Reality for Studying Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction in Socially Aware Robot Navigation
Hariharan Arunachalam, Phani Teja Singamaneni, Rachid Alami
Virtual Reality (VR) offers a flexible and controllable platform for studying human-robot interaction. Prior work has explored VR for socially aware robot navigation. However, whet…
Bi3: A Biplatform, Bicultural, Biperson Dataset for Social Robot Navigation
Andrew Stratton, Phani Teja Singamaneni, Pranav Goyal +2
We contribute Bi3, a dataset of social robot navigation among groups of people in a constrained lab space. Compared to prior data collection efforts for social robot navigation, ou…
How Human Motion Prediction Quality Shapes Social Robot Navigation Performance in Constrained Spaces
Andrew Stratton, Phani Teja Singamaneni, Pranav Goyal +2
Motivated by the vision of integrating mobile robots closer to humans in warehouses, hospitals, manufacturing plants, and the home, we focus on robot navigation in dynamic and spat…
Towards Data-Driven Metrics for Social Robot Navigation Benchmarking
Pilar Bachiller-Burgos, Ulysses Bernardet, Luis V. Calderita +8
This paper presents a joint effort towards the development of a data-driven Social Robot Navigation metric to facilitate benchmarking and policy optimization for ground robots. We…
Assessing Human Cooperation for Enhancing Social Robot Navigation
Hariharan Arunachalam, Phani Teja Singamaneni, Rachid Alami
Socially aware robot navigation is a planning paradigm where the robot navigates in human environments and tries to adhere to social constraints while interacting with the humans i…
A Survey on Socially Aware Robot Navigation: Taxonomy and Future Challenges
Phani Teja Singamaneni, Pilar Bachiller-Burgos, Luis J. Manso +4
Socially aware robot navigation is gaining popularity with the increase in delivery and assistive robots. The research is further fueled by a need for socially aware navigation ski…
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…
Watch out! There may be a Human. Addressing Invisible Humans in Social Navigation
Phani Teja Singamaneni, Anthony Favier, Rachid Alami
Current approaches in human-aware or social robot navigation address the humans that are visible to the robot. However, it is also important to address the possible emergences of h…
Human-Aware Navigation Planner for Diverse Human-Robot Contexts
Phani Singamaneni, Anthony Favier, Rachid Alami
As more robots are being deployed into human environments, a human-aware navigation planner needs to handle multiple contexts that occur in indoor and outdoor environments. In this…
MuMMER: Socially Intelligent Human-Robot Interaction in Public Spaces
Mary Ellen Foster, Bart Craenen, Amol Deshmukh +27
In the EU-funded MuMMER project, we have developed a social robot designed to interact naturally and flexibly with users in public spaces such as a shopping mall. We present the la…
