Robots navigating in social environments inevitably exhibit behavior perceived as inappropriate by people, which they will repeat unless they are aware of them; hindering their social acceptance. This highlights the importance of robots detecting and adapting to the perceived appropriateness of their behavior, in line with what we found in a systematic literature review. Therefore, we have conducted experiments (both outdoor and indoor) to understand the perceived appropriateness of robot social navigation behavior, based on which we collected a dataset and developed a machine learning model for detecting such perceived appropriateness. To investigate the usefulness of such information and inspire robot adaptive navigation behavior design, we will further conduct a WoZ study to understand how trained human operators adapt robot behavior to people's feedback. In all, this work will enable robots to better remediate their inappropriate behavior, thus improving their social acceptance.

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.
