A Computational Model of Human-Robot Spatial Interactions Based on a Qualitative Trajectory Calculus [PDF]
Robotics, 2015 In this paper we propose a probabilistic sequential model of Human-Robot Spatial Interaction (HRSI) using a well-established Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC) to encode HRSI between a human and a mobile robot in a meaningful, tractable, and ...
