Many modern robotics applications require robots to function autonomously in dynamic environments including other decision making agents, such as people or other robots. This calls for fast and scalable interactive motion planning. This…
Ensuring human safety is of paramount importance in warehouse environments that feature mixed traffic of human workers and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Current approaches often treat humans as generic dynamic obstacles, leading to…
Path planning in the multi-robot system refers to calculating a set of actions for each robot, which will move each robot to its goal without conflicting with other robots. Lately, the research topic has received significant attention for…
As robots increasingly integrate into everyday environments, ensuring their safe navigation around humans becomes imperative. Efficient and safe motion planning requires robots to account for human behavior, particularly in constrained…
Human-robot teaming is one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence in the fast-growing field of robotics. For effective teaming, a robot must not only maintain a behavioral model of its human teammates to project the…
The ability of human beings to precisely recog- nize others intents is a significant mental activity in reasoning about actions, such as, what other people are doing and what they will do next. Recent research has revealed that human…
Proactively perceiving others' intentions is a crucial skill to effectively interact in unstructured, dynamic and novel environments. This work proposes a first step towards embedding this skill in support robots for search and rescue…
With the aim of enabling robots to cooperate with humans, carry out human-like tasks, or navigate among humans, we need to ensure that they are equipped with the ability to comprehend human behaviors and use the extracted knowledge for…
This paper proposes an intent-aware multi-agent planning framework as well as a learning algorithm. Under this framework, an agent plans in the goal space to maximize the expected utility. The planning process takes the belief of other…
Traditional control and planning for robotic manipulation heavily rely on precise physical models and predefined action sequences. While effective in structured environments, such approaches often fail in real-world scenarios due to…
Autonomous target tracking with quadrotors has wide applications in many scenarios, such as cinematographic follow-up shooting or suspect chasing. Target motion prediction is necessary when designing the tracking planner. However, the…
In this work we argue that in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) tasks, the Perception-Action cycle in HRC tasks can not fully explain the collaborative behaviour of the human and robot and it has to be extended to Perception-Intention-Action…
There has been a growing utilization of industrial robots as complementary collaborators for human workers in re-manufacturing sites. Such a human-robot collaboration (HRC) aims to assist human workers in improving the flexibility and…
To engender safe and efficient human-robot collaboration, it is critical to generate high-fidelity predictions of human behavior. The challenges in making accurate predictions lie in the stochasticity and heterogeneity in human behaviors.…
To enable safe and efficient human-robot collaboration in shared workspaces it is important for the robot to predict how a human will move when performing a task. While predicting human motion for tasks not known a priori is very…
The requirements of modern production systems together with more advanced robotic technologies have fostered the integration of teams comprising humans and autonomous robots. However, along with the potential benefits also comes the…
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) requires robots to adapt their motions to human intent to ensure safe and efficient cooperation in shared spaces. Although large language models (LLMs) provide high-level reasoning for inferring human intent,…
