Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – Researchers detail new data in Robotic s. According to news reporting originating in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by NewsRx edi tors, the research stated, “Recently, there has been great interest in deploying autonomous mobile robots in airports, malls, and hospitals to complete a range of tasks such as delivery, cleaning, and patrolling. The rich context of these e nvironments gives rise to highly unstructured motion that is challenging for rob ots to anticipate and adapt to.” Financial supporters for this research include Honda Research Institute USA, Nat ional Science Foundation (NSF), CHS, DARPA RACER, Office of Naval Research, Amaz on. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Mic higan, “This results in uncomfortable and unsafe human-robot encounters, poor ro bot performance, and even catastrophic failures that hinder robot acceptance. Su ch observations have motivated my work on social robot navigation, the problem o f enabling robots to navigate in human environments while accounting for human s afety and comfort.”
