Robot Navigation to Approach People Using-Spline Path Planning and Extended Social Force Model

M Galvan, E Repiso, A Sanfeliu - Iberian Robotics conference, 2019 - Springer
When a robot has to interact with a person in a dynamic environment, it has to navigate to
reach a close distance and to be in front of the person. This navigation has to be smooth and …
