As mobile robots start operating in environments crowded with humans, human-aware navigation is required to make these robots navigate safely, efficiently and in socially compliant manner. People navigate in an interactive and cooperative fashion so that, they are able to find their path to a destination even if there is no clear route leading to it. There are significant efforts to solve this problem for mobile robots; however, they are not scalable to high human density and learning based approaches depend heavily on the context and configuration of the set they are trained with. We develop a method which infers initial trajectories from Gaussian processes and updates these trajectories jointly for all agents using a cost based interaction approach. We condition Gaussian processes online with the best hypothesis at each step of prediction horizon. The method is tested on a common public dataset and it is shown that it outperforms two state-of-the-art approaches in terms of human-likeness of predicted trajectories.

Human aware navigation of a mobile robot in crowded dynamic environments Hacınecipoğlu, Akif; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) As mobile robots start operating in dynamic environments crowded with humans, human-aware and human-like navigation is required to make these robots navigate safely, efficiently and in socially compliant manner. People can navigate in an interactive and cooperative fashion so that, they are able to find their path to a destination even if there is no clear path leading to it. This is clearly a dexterity of humans. But the mobile robots which have to navigate in such environments lack this feature. Even perf...
Multi-agent system-based fuzzy controller design with genetic tuning for a mobile manipulator robot in the hand over task Erden, MS; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Halıcı, Uğur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-03-01) This paper presents an application of the multi-agent system approach to a service mobile manipulator robot that interacts with a human during an object delivery and hand-over task in two dimensions. The base, elbow and shoulder of the robot are identified as three different agents, and are controlled using fuzzy control. The control variables of the controllers are linear velocity of the base, angular velocity of the elbow, and angular velocity of the shoulder. Main inputs to the system are the horizontal ...
Simultaneous localization and mapping for a mobile robot operating in outdoor environments Sezginalp, Emre; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this thesis, a method to the solution of autonomous navigation problem of a robot working in an outdoor application is sought. The robot will operate in unknown terrain where there is no a priori map present, and the robot must localize itself while simultaneously mapping the environment. This is known as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem in the literature. The SLAM problem is attempted to be solved by using the correlation between range data acquired at different poses of the robot. A...
Design of an image acquisition setup for mimic tracking Aköner, Özgüler Mine; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) With the advances in computer technology and the changing needs of people’s daily lives, robots start to offer alternative solutions. As one of these solutions, the branch of humanoid robots emerged as advanced robots that can interact with people. Robot faces are one of the most effective means of interacting with people; since they can express their emotions and reactions through facial mimics. However, the development of realistic robot faces necessitates the knowledge of the trajectories and displacemen...
Design of a mobile robot to move on rough terrain Kırmızıgül, Uğur; İder, S. Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) In this thesis work, a mobile robot is designed to be used in search and rescue operations to help the human rescue workers. The difficult physical conditions in the ruins obstruct the movement. Therefore, it is aimed to design a search and rescue robot which can move easily on rough terrain and climb over the obstacles. The designed robot is made up of three modules. A connecting unit is designed that is situated between each module. This connecting unit which is composed of two universal and one revolute ...
