A mobile robot that performs human acceptable motions

The presence of humans should be explicitly taken into account in all steps of robot's design and particularly for robot motion. The robot should reason about human partner's accessibility, his vision field and potential shared motions and behave as a social being by respecting social rules and protocols. This paper describes the algorithms and results of a navigation planner that takes into account the human presence explicitly. This planner is part of a human-aware motion and manipulation planning and control system that we aim to develop in order to achieve motion and manipulation tasks in presence and/or in synergy with human
