Description

This study proposes a safe robot navigation in healthcare spaces methodology and aids towards the wider application of studies on Human-Robot Interaction in less structured environments. Using state-of-the-art computer vision methods, the robots should be able to detect the presence and identify the type of dynamic obstacles inside their visual field and adapt their navigation accordingly.
