Unfreezing Social Navigation: Dynamical Systems based Compliance for Contact Control in Robot Navigation

Aude Billard, Vaibhav Gupta, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Large efforts have focused on ensuring that the controllers for mobile service robots follow proxemics and other social rules to ensure both safe and socially acceptable distance to pedestrians. Nonetheless, involuntary contact may be unavoidable when the ...

We present a personal mobility device for lower- body impaired users through a light-weighted exoskeleton on wheels. On its core, a novel passive exoskeleton provides postural transition leveraging natural body postures with support to the trunk on sit-to- ...

Crash test-based assessment of injury risks for adults and children when colliding with personal mobility devices and service robots

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Autonomous mobility devices such as transport, cleaning, and delivery robots, hold a massive economic and social benefit. However, their deployment should not endanger bystanders, particularly vulnerable populations such as children and older adults who ar ...

Robots' Motion Planning in Human Crowds by Acceleration Obstacles

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, David Julian Gonon

We study the Acceleration Obstacle (AO) as a concept to enable a robot's navigation in human crowds. The AO's geometric properties are analyzed and a direct sampling-free algorithm is proposed to approximate its boundary by linear constraints. The resultin ...

Unfreezing Social Navigation: Dynamical Systems based Compliance for Contact Control in Robot Navigation

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados

Soon human-robot interactions in pedestrian areas will be beyond the novelty effect with the deployment of delivery robots, autonomous personal mobility vehicles, and surveillance robots. Proxemics and other social rules guide these interactions, nonethele ...

On the Safety of Mobile Robots Serving in Public Spaces: Identifying gaps in EN ISO 13482:2014 and calling for a new standard

Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, Pericle Salvini

Since 2014, a specific standard was dedicated to the safety certification of personal care robots, which operates in close proximity to humans. These robots served as information providers, object transporters, personal mobility carriers, and security patr ...
