hateb_local_planner ROS Package
The hateb_local_planner package implements a plugin to the base_local_planner of the 2D navigation stack. It implements a human-robot cooperative navigation planner that predicts trajectories for human and plans accordingly a trajectory for robot that satisfies certain kinodynamic and social constraints.
Details of the approach are discussed in
- Khambhaita H., Alami R.: A Human-Robot Cooperative Navigation Planner, Proc. of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Vienna, Austria, March 2017.
It uses a method called Timed Elastic Band for optimization purpose, which is discussed in
