Raj Korpan, Susan L. Epstein
To perform tasks well in a new domain, one must first know something about it. This paper reports on a robot controller for navigation through unfamiliar indoor worlds. Based on sp…
MengeROS: a Crowd Simulation Tool for Autonomous Robot Navigation
Anoop Aroor, Susan L. Epstein, Raj Korpan
While effective navigation in large, crowded environments is essential for an autonomous robot, preliminary testing of algorithms to support it requires simulation across a broad r…
Toward Crowd-Sensitive Path Planning
Anoop Aroor, Susan L. Epstein
If a robot can predict crowds in parts of its environment that are inaccessible to its sensors, then it can plan to avoid them. This paper proposes a fast, online algorithm that le…
