| Robot navigation and collision avoidance in crowded and dynamic environments is a challenging problem, not only from a technical point of view, but also when looking at how robots should behave in the proximity of (large numbers of) people.

|
| |
| This research will focus on finding a solution for robot collision avoidance in a supermarket environment. A supermarket environment has aspects that make it unique from other crowded environments. To make this more concise, a description of this environment is given with advantages and difficulties for designing a robot collision avoidance. Furthermore, it will also become clear that users (staff & customers) will have certain requirements that relate to human robot interactions (HRI). Keeping both the environment and customer requirements in mind, state-of-the art collision avoidance procedures will be assessed on application in a supermarket environment and possible additions to enhance them for this application will be investigated. A simulation with a candidate object avoidance procedure will be done to test its working potential. Finally, advantages and disadvantages for this candidate procedure are given and topics for further research will be presented.
