Near Real-Time Position Tracking for Robot-Guided Evacuation
Mollik Nayyar, Alan Wagner
During the evacuation of a building, the rapid and accurate tracking of human evacuees can be used by a guide robot to increase the effectiveness of the evacuation [1],[2]. This pa…
Modeling Evacuee Behavior for Robot-Guided Emergency Evacuation
Mollik Nayyar, Alan Wagner
This paper considers the problem of developing suitable behavior models of human evacuees during a robot-guided emergency evacuation. We describe our recent research developing beh…
Learning Evacuee Models from Robot-Guided Emergency Evacuation Experiments
Mollik Nayyar, Ghanghoon Paik, Zhenyuan Yuan +4
Recent research has examined the possibility of using robots to guide evacuees to safe exits during emergencies. Yet, there are many factors that can impact a person's decision to…
Multi-Robot-Guided Crowd Evacuation: Two-Scale Modeling and Control
Tongjia Zheng, Zhenyuan Yuan, Mollik Nayyar +3
Emergency evacuation describes a complex situation involving time-critical decision-making by evacuees. Mobile robots are being actively explored as a potential solution to provide…
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…
