ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will discuss the work I have been doing in motion planning for robots in human environments. Specially I will talk about two approaches : a local greedy approach in following partially predictable people in an unknown environment and motion planning for robots by trying to infer the intention of people in its neighbourhood. I will draw parallels and contrasts between both approaches given the amount of (prior) information required and their merits.
