Abstracting People's Trajectories for Social Robots to Proactively Approach Customers
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS
, 2009
"... For a robot providing services to people in a public space such as a shopping mall, it is important to distinguish potential customers, such as window shoppers, from other people, such as busy commuters. In this paper, we present a series of abstraction techniques for people's trajectories and ..."
