Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

A Review of Verbal and Non-Verbal Human-Robot Interactive Communication
In this paper, an overview of human-robot interactive communication is
presented, covering verbal as well as non-verbal aspects of human-robot
interaction. Following a historical introduction, and motivation towards fluid
human-robot communication, ten desiderata are proposed, which provide an
organizational axis both of recent as well as of future research on human-robot
communication. Then, the ten desiderata are examined in detail, culminating to
a unifying discussion, and a forward-looking conclusion
A Survey on Human-aware Robot Navigation
Intelligent systems are increasingly part of our everyday lives and have been
integrated seamlessly to the point where it is difficult to imagine a world
without them. Physical manifestations of those systems on the other hand, in
the form of embodied agents or robots, have so far been used only for specific
applications and are often limited to functional roles (e.g. in the industry,
entertainment and military fields). Given the current growth and innovation in
the research communities concerned with the topics of robot navigation,
human-robot-interaction and human activity recognition, it seems like this
might soon change. Robots are increasingly easy to obtain and use and the
acceptance of them in general is growing. However, the design of a socially
compliant robot that can function as a companion needs to take various areas of
research into account. This paper is concerned with the navigation aspect of a
socially-compliant robot and provides a survey of existing solutions for the
relevant areas of research as well as an outlook on possible future directions.Comment: Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 202
