Institutional Robotics for Socially Aware Multi-Robot Systems
Bridging the gap between human-aware behaviors and multi-robot navigation is a challenging problem whose solution is still in its infancy. To the best of our knowledge, up to the date no study on human-aware robot formations has been carried out. We propose an Institutional Robotics (IR) approach to socially-aware multi-robot systems (MRIs), where cooperation among the robots as well as their social interactions with humans are guided using Institutions – coordination artifacts specifying behavioral rules and norms that are acceptable and desirable given the situation.
