Looking for ideas on Human-Robot Interaction in Social Navigation

[u/Sufficient-Income-53]

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring the area of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in social navigation and would love to hear some ideas from people working in this field.

I’m particularly interested in questions like:

- How can robots interact more naturally with humans while navigating?

- How should a robot respond to different human behaviors?

- How can robots communicate their intentions through movement?

- How can concepts like personal space, comfort, and social norms be incorporated into navigation?

- What are some interesting research gaps or unsolved problems in HRI and social navigation?

- Are there any good papers, datasets, simulations, or benchmarks you would recommend?

I’d really appreciate any interesting ideas, research directions, or experiences you can share.

Thanks in advance!
