An Approach of Social Navigation Based on Proxemics for Crowded Environments of Humans and Robots [PDF]

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
Nowadays, mobile robots are playing an important role in different areas of science, industry, academia and even in everyday life. In this sense, their abilities and behaviours become increasingly complex.

The Visual Social Distancing Problem [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
One of the main and most effective measures to contain the recent viral outbreak is the maintenance of the so-called Social Distancing (SD). To comply with this constraint, governments are adopting restrictions over the minimum inter-personal distance ...

Effects of appearance and gender on pre-touch proxemics in virtual reality [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) environments are increasingly popular for various applications, and the appearance of virtual characters is a critical factor that influences user behaviors.

A Computational Model of Human-Robot Spatial Interactions Based on a Qualitative Trajectory Calculus [PDF]

open access: yesRobotics, 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 ...

The Proxemics of “Neither” [PDF]

open access: yesSamuel Beckett Today / Aujourd'hui, 2012
The conceptual vocabulary provided by Philippe Hamon for the analysis of the interrelationships of writing, architecture and the body in the nineteenthcentury novel remains partially capable of accounting for the conjunctions of text, structure and inhabitant as these are present in Beckett's post-war oeuvre.

Social Type-Aware Navigation Framework for Mobile Robots in Human-Shared Environments [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
As robots become increasingly common in human-populated environments, they must be perceived as social beings and behave socially. People try to preserve their own space during social interactions with others, and this space depends on a variety of ...

Preferred Distance in Human–Drone Interaction [PDF]

open access: yesVision
In two augmented-reality experiments, we transferred the paradigm of interpersonal distance regulation to human–drone interaction. In the first experiment, we used a simple spherical drone model and explored how both hovering height and approach angle ...

New proxemics in new space: proxemics in VR

open access: yesVirtual Reality
AbstractWith the development of computer technology, it is possible to design virtual reality (VR) media that provides services to multiple users. Hall’s proxemics theory, which holds that the distance varies depending on the relationship between people, has been applied when designing VR in such media.
