You can find in this category all the public deliverables of the CrowdBot project that have been published so far.
Scenarios are descriptors that portray use cases and operational procedures of mobile robots in human crowd environments such as hospitals, shopping malls, train stations and other public or private venues. Nowadays we are witnessing the presence of robots in both public and private places but their efficacy and technological features are rather modest due to
The CROWDBOT project aims for tight navigation of mobile robots in a dense crowd and thus physical interaction (both contact and non-contact) between a robot and human crowd is anticipated. This report addresses our approach for modeling, analysis and experimentation of robot-human physical interaction. Here the term “physical” means that a robot will come close
The main objective of the Crowdbot project is safe navigation of mobile robots in a dense human crowd environment. Both terms “safe” and “navigation” carry equal weight in achieving milestones and the overall success of the project. Sensors play a critical role for both safe operation and intelligent navigation of Crowdbot robots. This report provides
The main objective of the CROWDBOT project is to demonstrate safe navigation of mobile robots in dense human crowd environments. There are both technical challenges and ethical concerns that must be addressed during the execution of this goal. While the team is devising new technical solutions and engaging with stakeholders on ethical concerns, it is
The main objective of the CROWDBOT project is safe navigation of mobile robots in dense crowds. Operating a robot safely in a social setting requires overcoming current technical limitations and acquiring human-like intelligence as well as addressing ethical and safety concerns of machines co-existing among human crowds. The scope of this report is limited to
For the project period spanning from 1 January 2018 to Jun 30 2021, the CROWDBOT team will manage and maintain two web sites, one for public access and another as internal document repository. The “public” website will be the main information portal and the basis for communicating over social networks. Developed by INRIA, both of
