In order for robots to safely move in human-robot coexisting environment, they must be able to predict their surrounding people's behavior. In this study, a pedestrian behavior model that produces humanlike behavior was developed. The model takes into account the pedestrian's intention. Based on the intention, the model pedestrian sets its subgoal and moves toward the subgoal according to virtual forces affected by other pedestrian and environment. The proposed model was verified through pedestrian observation experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
