Autonomous vehicles (AVs) must share space with pedestrians, both in carriageway cases
such as cars at pedestrian crossings and off-carriageway cases such as delivery vehicles …

Working with mobile robots, prior to execute the local planning stage, they must know the
environment where they are moving. For that reason the perception and mapping stages …

In the context of a growing interest in modelling human behavior to increase the robots'
social abilities, this article presents a survey related to socially-aware robot navigation. It …

Having accurate knowledge of the positions of people around a robot provides rich,
