Developing Spatial Skills for Social Robots.

摘要

Robots that navigate around people must be able to follow hu-man social conventions in order to for non-roboticists to un-derstand and predict the robot’s motion. In order to improve social robot navigation, then, we must understand what con-ventions people use. This paper presents preliminary results from an observational study of older adults walking together, describes how these findings can be applied to a social robot, and concludes by discussing the multidisciplinary nature of this research.
