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 …

Navigation lies at the core of social robotics, enabling robots to navigate and interact
seamlessly in human environments. The primary focus of human-aware robot navigation is …

A major goal in robotics is to enable intelligent mobile robots to operate smoothly in shared
human-robot environments. One of the most fundamental capabilities in service of this goal …

In this paper, we present a coordinated and reactive human-aware motion planner for
performing a handover task by an autonomous aerial manipulator (AAM). We present a …

Robots are increasingly finding their way into home environments, where they can assist
with household tasks like vacuuming or surveilling. While the robots can navigate on their …

Recent progress in aerial robotics foresees that flying robots, aka drones, can support
workers in their jobs, such as by performing complex tasks in hard-to-reach places. As they …

In this paper, we aim to demonstrate the potential for wider-ranging capabilities and ease of
transferability of our recently developed decision-making architecture for human-robot …

The subject of this thesis is to plan the motions of an aerial manipulator (a hexa-rotor
equipped with a manipulator arm) also called a Flying Coworker. It is used to interact with …

In our previous work, we presented KHAOS Truc et al.(2022), a Kinematic Human Aware
Optimizationbased System for Reactive Planning of Flying-Coworker in the context of the” …
