ABOUT:
We invite researchers to present their preliminary or ongoing projects in the area of social navigation and related fields. Submissions are welcome on a wide range of topics, including planning, human-robot interaction, and the application of foundation models to social robot navigation. Example topics include, but are not limited to:
- How to overcome the freezing robot problem in social robot navigation?
- How much does capturing human body pose, gestures, head orientation or eye gaze benefit social navigation?
- How should a robot behave in order for it to be accepted as social by humans?
- How does a robot communicate its navigation intent to humans?
- What communication modalities benefit the social robot navigation?
- How much can data-based approaches capture or imitate human behavior in social navigation?
- How can we move towards foundation models for social robot navigation?
- How to define social norms in terms of costs or rewards?
- How to accommodate diverse human factors and environmental context in social navigation?
- How do we model pedestrian and crowd behaviors?
- What metrics are suitable to measure efficiency, safety and socialness in social navigation?
- How do we trade-off efficiency and safety (socialness) in evaluating social navigation?
- How effective is it to evaluate social navigation models on datasets?
- What behavior model is suitable to model humans in social navigation simulation?
- How much realism do we need in social navigation simulation?
- How do we categorize and evaluate context in social navigation?
- How do we mitigate novelty effect in real-world social navigation experiments?
- How does combined motion and task planning benefit social robot navigation?
