1.报告会简介

报告人：Yi Guo教授

时 间：2017年8月18日（星期五） 下午15：30（开始时间）

地 点：长安校区电子信息学院楼159会议室

主 题：Learning Based Robot-Assisted Pedestrian Regulation

内容简介：

Controlling pedestrian crowd dynamics has attracted increasing attention due to its potential impact to save lives in emergency. The“fast-is-slower”effect defines the phenomenon of jamming at the exit or a bottleneck, caused by people rushing to the exit. In this talk, I will present our research on robot-assisted pedestrian regulation and the study of learning based human-robot interaction. We design a learning-based motion control approach for a robot to efficiently interact with pedestrians for desirable collective motion, where adaptive dynamic programming is applied to provide adjustable motion parameters of the robot. Simulation results will be shown to demonstrate that the proposed approach regulates pedestrian flows to desirable speeds by online learning.
