abstract = {Mobile robot navigation in human populated environments has been widely studied in the past two decades. Significant improvements in
this technology suggest a promising future for introducing mobile
service robots in human workspaces that help with daily
activities. State-of-the-art approaches have shown real-world
deployments of robots that can safely navigate through dense
crowds~\cite{trautman2015robot, pfeiffer2016predicting}. Still, most
robots lack the ability to navigate in a human-friendly manner, which
requires the ability to identify human intentions, especially
in collision-risky situations, and to avoid collisions
“legibly”
Most studies to date do not
take human-robot interaction into consideration, resulting in
unexpected human behaviors during deployment, and ineffective robot planning
due to large prediction errors regarding human responses. In this work, we
therefore seek to model human reactions around a robot in collision-dangerous
scenarios, with specific study of situations in which two agents cross paths.
We model people's collision avoidance behaviors as a function of their
underlying intentions and social preferences, and propose to predict human motions based on such
intentions and preferences. Preliminary results suggest large variations in different people's
crossing path selection. We turn to a psychological model
to explain such diverse responses, and propose to categorize people's
strategies based on their assumptions about the robot.
