A ROBOT THAT APPROACHES PEDESTRIANS
ABSTRACT
When robots serve in urban areas such as shopping malls, they will often be required
to approach people in order to initiate service. This paper presents a technique for human–
robot interaction that enables a robot to approach people who are passing through an
environment. For successful approach, our proposed planner first searches for a target person
at public distance zones anticipating his/her future position and behavior. It chooses a person
who does not seem busy and can be reached from a frontal direction. Once the robot
successfully approaches the person within the social distance zone, it identifies the person’s
reaction and provides a timely response by coordinating its body orientation. The system was
tested in a shopping mall and compared with a simple approaching method. The result
demonstrates a significant improvement in approaching performance; the simple method was
only 35.1% successful, whereas the proposed technique showed a success rate of 55.9%.

EXISTING SYSTEM
Robots have started to move from laboratories to real environments, where they
interact with ordinary people who spontaneously interact with them. Robots have been tested
in guiding roles in museums and supermarkets. Social robots, such as receptionists and tutors,
have been developed to interact like humans, communicating socially with people.
The “initiating interaction” is one of the fundamental capabilities of human–robot
interaction for such robots. That is, the initiating interaction would be commonly useful
among these robots, while each of them would engage in task-specific interaction for each
individual application after initiation. Although many robots are equipped with the capability
to invite people into an interaction, these robots only passively wait for people to approach
them.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
In our proposed system, a “mobile” robot can approach people to initiate
interaction. This way of providing services is more proactive than waiting, since it enables
robots to find and assist people who have potential needs. For instance, imagine a senior
citizen who is lost in a mall. If a robot were placed in the mall to provide route directions, it
could wait to be approached for help; however, people might not know what the robot can do,
or they might hesitate to ask for help. It would be more appropriate for the robot to approach
and offer help. Our study presents a method to deal with this novel way of initiating
interaction.
A robot’s capability to approach people is important for a number of applications. We believe
that one promising application is an invitation service; a robot offers shopping information
and invites people to visit shops, while giving people the opportunity to interact with it, since
robots remain very novel.
