Human-robot collaborative navigation: An interactive information entropy minimization framework for mobile social robots


Jie Liu†, Xujun Xu†, Zhiyu Ding, Jiajie Yu, Shiyu Miao, Wenzheng Chi*, Lining Sun*
Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, 2026
arxiv /

This study introduces a novel human–robot collaborative navigation framework on the basis of the interactive information entropy, which is proposed to quantify information about pedestrian groups, assesses the capacity of robots to acquire group-related information from different positions, and offers a robust decision-making basis for identifying optimal interaction points.

A Gaussian mixture model based fast motion planning method through online environmental feature learning


Yuan Yuan, Jie Liu, Wenzheng Chi*, Guodong Chen*, Lining Sun*
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2022
arxiv /

A fast path planning algorithm based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is proposed to allow robotic systems to efficiently extract feature nodes and generate collision-free paths considering the pedestrian density and the environmental structure.

A knowledge-based fast motion planning method through online environmental feature learning


Yuan Yuan, Jie Liu, Jiankun Wang, Wenzheng Chi*, Guodong Chen*, Lining Sun*
ICRA, 2021
arxiv /

We present a knowledge-based fast motion planning algorithm based on Risk-RRT, which guides motion planning by constructing a topological feature tree and generating a heuristic path from the tree.
