Perception capability assumes significant importance for human–robot interaction. The
forthcoming industrial environments will require a high level of automation to be flexible and …

Socially aware robot navigation is gaining popularity with the increase in delivery and
assistive robots. The research is further fueled by a need for socially aware navigation skills …

Mobile robots are increasingly populating homes, hospitals, shopping malls, factory floors,
and other human environments. Human society has social norms that people mutually …

Acceptance of social robots in human-robot collaborative environments depends on the
robots' sensitivity to human moral and social norms. Robot behavior that violates norms may …

This work presents ideation and preliminary results of using contextual information and
information of the objects present in the scene to query applicable social navigation rules for …

We present a context classification pipeline to allow a robot to change its navigation strategy
based on the observed social scenario. Socially-Aware Navigation considers social …

Nonverbal interactions are a key component of human communication. Since robots have
become significant by trying to get close to human beings, it is important that they follow …

This work proposes a novel approach to social robot navigation by learning to generate
robot controls from a social motion latent space. By leveraging this social motion latent …

This presents a framework for a novel Unified Socially-Aware Navigation (USAN)
architecture and motivates it for Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR) applications. This …

Robots have evolved from their traditional roles in manufacturing, especially in the
automotive sector, where they have been used for decades. Today, they are increasingly …
