Workshop Description:

Robots navigating through uncontrolled human spaces face many challenges due to the uncertainty of human behavior and the unstructured nature of environmental context and social rules. With recent rapid transformations in AI, social robot navigation is changing, and the Advances in Social Robot Navigation workshop explores these innovations in areas including planning, human-robot interaction, and beyond. This full-day workshop brings together experts in these fields for invited talks, panel discussions, and participant presentations on advances in social robot navigation. Building on our successful series of workshops at ICRA'22, IROS'23, and RSS'24, this workshop aims to investigate key aspects that make robot navigation more acceptable, legible, and social.

Invited Speakers:

Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin

Nicholas Roy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Ilaria Torre, Chalmers University of Technology

Dhruv Shah, Google DeepMind

Luigi Palmieri, Robert Bosch GmbH Corporate Research

Marynel Vázquez, Yale University
