Autonomous mobile robots have become popular in various applications coexisting with humans, which requires robots to navigate efficiently and safely in crowd environments with diverse pedestrians. Pedestrians may cooperate with the robot by avoiding it actively or ignoring the robot during their wa
Existing navigation policies for autonomous robots tend to focus on collision avoidance while ignoring human-robot interactions in social life. For instance, robots can pass along the corridor safer and easier if pedestrians notice them. Sounds have been considered as an efficient way to attract the…
It is challenging for a mobile robot to navigate through human crowds. Existing approaches usually assume that pedestrians follow a predefined collision avoidance strategy, like social force model (SFM) or optimal reciprocal collision avoidance (ORCA). However, their performances commonly need to be…
