Standards Development
Addresses the purpose, definition, and situational awareness metrics for the mid-distance risk anticipation activity of a public-area mobile robot (PMR) while executing (navigating) a trip. Situation awareness requires suitable sensor capabilities and analytic or decision competence of the PMR software that supports situation awareness.
PURPOSE: establish capability specifications for socially-aware navigation systems used by publicarea mobile robots operating in shared human spaces such as sidewalks, crosswalks, airports, shopping centers, hospitals and urban plazas.
JUSTIFICATION: Mobile robots operating in public spaces often exhibit "myopic" behavior—jerky, unpredictable movements that violate social navigation norms, creating anxiety and eroding public trust. Short planning horizons of 2-3 seconds often generate sudden corrections that feel "robotic” in the worst sense—i.e., unaware, perhaps inhuman or potentially dangerous. This proposed standard addresses “algorithmic myopia” by specifying extended and measurable planning capabilities and legible movement patterns that telegraph intent, ensuring robots can navigate shared spaces without compromising human comfort or navigation expectations.
