Join us to hear Dr. Roya Salek Shahrezaie, Assistant Professor, CS Department here at Sonoma State University speak about Socially-Aware Navigation for Robots in Public Spaces. Abstract-  As robots become increasingly integrated into public spaces such as hospitals, shopping malls, airports, and museums, their ability to navigate intelligently and socially is crucial. Socially-aware navigation (SAN) goes beyond simply moving from one point to another; it involves understanding and respecting human social norms to ensure that robots’ interactions are comfortable and non-intrusive.
