Towards Operational Systems for Continuous Navigation of Rescue Teams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Self-protection is of rescue teams has absolute priority over all other objectives. Nevertheless rescue workers, such as fire fighters often face conditions that impose a combination of threats on them: severe physical and mental stress, limited or no ...

Managing Large-Scale Mapping and Localization for Pedestrians using Inertial Sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pedestrian navigation in indoor environments without a pre-installed infrastructure still presents many challenges. There are different approaches that address the problem using prior knowledge about the environment when the building plans or similar

Timing of pedestrian navigation instructions

open access: yes, 2017
During pedestrian navigation in outdoor urban environments we often utilize assistance systems to support decision-making. These systems help wayfinders by providing relevant information withing the context of their surroundings, e.g., landmark-based instructions of the type "turn left at the church".

Impact of navigation tools on pedestrian navigation: preliminary results [PDF]

open access: yesEAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies, 2019
Since some experiments analyzed impact of navigation tools on pedestrian navigation (Ishikawa, Fujiwara, Imai & Okabe 2008; Wang & Worboys 2016) few have studied how interactive devices between mobile participants possibly transform their cognitive maps. After many years of interactive artistic experiences between participants in distant cities,

Empirical Approaches for Improving Inertial Pedestrian Navigation: Approximating Gravitational Acceleration and Digitizing Heading Change Angles

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Spatial mobility provides a rich context for human life, and the demand for indoor navigation and localization has increased. Pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) is a viable solution thanks to its cost advantages and robustness to environmental changes.

Navigation by Imitation in a Pedestrian-Rich Environment

open access: yesCoRR, 2018
Deep neural networks trained on demonstrations of human actions give robot the ability to perform self-driving on the road. However, navigation in a pedestrian-rich environment, such as a campus setup, is still challenging---one needs to take frequent interventions to the robot and take control over the robot from early steps leading to a mistake.

Robot Navigation in Dense Crowds: Statistical Models and Experimental Studies of Human Robot Cooperation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This thesis explores the problem of mobile robot navigation in dense human crowds. We begin by considering a fundamental impediment to classical motion planning algorithms called the freezing robot problem: once the environment surpasses a certain level
