Mobile robots in public spaces must ensure pedestrians' comfort, and yet empirical studies of walkers' subjective safety are rare. Many classical navigation algorithms do not distinguish the walkers from dynamic obstacles and do not explicitly model subjective human factors. More…
Mobile robots are going to share the sidewalks with pedestrians. They must ensure their objective safety and respect the walkers' subjective safety/comfort. Computationally efficient Social Force Models (SFM) present interpretable solutions for real-time robot navigation in dynam…
