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…
Robust Robot Planning for Human-Robot Collaboration
Yang You, Vincent Thomas, Francis Colas +2
In human-robot collaboration, the objectives of the human are often unknown to the robot. Moreover, even assuming a known objective, the human behavior is also uncertain. In order…
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…
Robust Planning for Human-Robot Joint Tasks with Explicit Reasoning on Human Mental State
Anthony Favier, Shashank Shekhar, Rachid Alami
We consider the human-aware task planning problem where a human-robot team is given a shared task with a known objective to achieve. Recent approaches tackle it by modeling it as a…
Logic-Based Ethical Planning
Umberto Grandi, Emiliano Lorini, Timothy Parker +1
In this paper we propose a framework for ethical decision making in the context of planning, with intended application to robotics. We put forward a compact but highly expressive l…
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…
Physical Human-Robot Interaction with a Tethered Aerial Vehicle: Application to a Force-based Human Guiding Problem
Marco Tognon, Rachid Alami, Bruno Siciliano
Today, physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) is a very popular topic in the field of ground manipulation. At the same time, Aerial Physical Interaction (APhI) is also developing…
Commitments in Human-Robot Interaction
Victor Fernandez Castro, Aurelie Clodic, Rachid Alami +1
An important tradition in philosophy holds that in order to successfully perform a joint action, the participants must be capable of establishing commitments on joint goals and sha…
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…
Viewing Robot Navigation in Human Environment as a Cooperative Activity
Harmish Khambhaita, Rachid Alami
We claim that navigation in human environments can be viewed as cooperative activity especially in constrained situations. Humans concurrently aid and comply with each other while…
Some essential skills and their combination in an architecture for a cognitive and interactive robot
Sandra Devin, Grégoire Milliez, Michelangelo Fiore +2
The topic of joint actions has been deeply studied in the context of Human-Human interaction in order to understand how humans cooperate. Creating autonomous robots that collaborat…
HATP: An HTN Planner for Robotics
Raphaël Lallement, Lavindra de Silva, Rachid Alami
Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is a popular approach that cuts down on the classical planning search space by relying on a given hierarchical library of domain control kn…
Towards Combining HTN Planning and Geometric Task Planning
Lavindra de Silva, Amit Kumar Pandey, Mamoun Gharbi +1
In this paper we present an interface between a symbolic planner and a geometric task planner, which is different to a standard trajectory planner in that the former is able to per…
