de Groot, O.M. (author), Ferranti, L. (author), Gavrila, D. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)Navigating mobile robots through environments shared with humans is challenging. From the perspective of the robot, humans are dynamic obstacles that must be avoided. These obstacles make the collision-free space nonconvex, which leads to two distinct passing behaviors per obstacle (passing left or right). For local planners, such as receding...conference paper 2023

de Groot, O.M. (author), Ferreira de Brito, B.F. (author), Ferranti, L. (author), Gavrila, D. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)We present an optimization-based method to plan the motion of an autonomous robot under the uncertainties associated with dynamic obstacles, such as humans. Our method bounds the marginal risk of collisions at each point in time by incorporating chance constraints into the planning problem. This problem is not suitable for online optimization...journal article 2021

SafeVRU: A research platform for the interaction of self-driving vehicles with vulnerable road usersFerranti, L. (author), Ferreira de Brito, B.F. (author), Pool, E.A.I. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Ensing, R.M. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)This paper presents our research platform SafeVRU for the interaction of self-driving vehicles with Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs, i.e., pedestrians and cyclists). The paper details the design (implemented with a modular structure within ROS) of the full stack of vehicle localization, environment perception, motion planning, and control, with...conference paper 2019
