Abstract

Mobile social robots and (semi-)autonomous small size vehicles such as robotic wheelchairs need to understand and replicate pedestrian behaviour, in order to move safely in the crowd and to interact with, move along with and transport humans. A large amount of research about pedestrian behaviour has been undertaken by the crowd simulation community, but such results cannot be trivially adapted to robot applications. We discuss a simple but general recipe to apply an acceleration based pedestrian model (“Social Force Model”) to mobile robots, and, as a specific example, we show how to replicate in a group of robots the behaviour of social pedestrian groups.
