As mobile robots are increasingly introduced into our daily lives, it grows ever more
imperative that these robots navigate with and among people in a safe and socially …

Enabling socially acceptable behavior for situated agents is a major goal of recent robotics
research. Robots should not only operate safely around humans, but also abide by complex …

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 …

Mobile robots must navigate efficiently, reliably, and appropriately around people when
acting in shared social environments. For robots to be accepted in such environments, we …

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

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 …

Bringing human–robot interaction (HRI) into conversation with scholarship from human
geography, this paper considers how socially interactive robots become important agents in …

Mobile robots need to understand human actions and produce socially accepted behaviors.
In this paper, we address this issue and propose a method for mobile robots to communicate …

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 …

Robots' autonomous navigation in public spaces and their social awareness suited to the
environmental context is an active investigation in HRI. In this paper, we are presenting a …
