Abstract

Robots are increasingly navigating our living environments and must navigate socially to be accepted. While existing socially aware navigation (SAN) approaches enable robots to interpret and communicate social information to navigate efficiently, safely, and in a socially acceptable manner, they often overlook potential conflicts and errors in real-world human-robot interactions. This thesis contributes to SAN by investigating how robots can adapt their inappropriate navigation behavior based on human feedback (perceived appropriateness), leading to smoother and less error-prone human-robot interactions....
