The human-like morphology of humanoid robots grants them exceptional potential for agile and versatile motor capabilities, but it also introduces significant challenges in acquiring complex skills. Traditional Learning-from-Demonstrations methods are often constrained by the high…

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…
Accompanying a group of humans is an essential aspect of developing human-like social cognition in robots. However, human groups typically do not follow fixed formations, which poses significant challenges for robots in maintaining natural companionship behaviors. In this paper,…
