Trajectory forecasting in urban environments is a critical task that needs to be addressed for the safety of autonomous vehicles, particularly in urban road intersection scenarios, where agents exhibit diverse behaviors mainly due to complex interactions between agents and the environment and the di
Motion prediction is a challenging task for autonomous vehicles due to uncertainty in the sensor data, the non-deterministic nature of future, and complex behavior of agents. In this paper, we tackle this problem by representing the scene as dynamic occupancy grid maps (DOGMs), associating semantic…
Navigation in close proximity with pedestrians is a challenge on the way to fully automated vehicles. Pedestrian-friendly navigation requires an understanding of pedestrian reaction and intention. Merely safety based reactive systems can lead to sub-optimal navigation solutions resulting in the free…
This paper presents an approach for implementing game theoretic decision making in combination with realistic sensory data input so as to allow an autonomous vehicle to perform maneuvers, such as lane change or merge in high traffic scenarios. The main novelty of this work, is the use of realistic s…
Developing autonomous vehicles capable of navigating safely and socially around pedestrians is a major challenge in intelligent transportation. This challenge cannot be met without understanding pedestrians' behavioral response to an autonomous vehicle, and the task of building a clear and quantitat…
An important aspect to be taken care of while designing assistive robots for mobility is that they need to operate among humans. Thus understanding human spatial social conventions and incorporating them in the assistive solutions, is important. In this paper, we introduce a semi-autonomous framewor…
In this work we introduce a low-level system that could be employed by a social robot like a robotic wheelchair or a humanoid, for approaching a group of interacting humans, in order to become a part of the interaction. Taking into account an interaction space that is created when at least two human…
