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…
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…
