Abstract
With the continuous development of robotics and computer vision technology, mobile robots have been widely applied in various fields. In this process, social navigation for robots have attracted considerable attention due to its human-robot interactivity. Social navigation allows robots to follow human social interaction norms and ensure the movement safety and social acceptability of navigation behaviors. This paper focuses on a review of social navigation methods for mobile robots. First, the development process of mobile robot social navigation is outlined. Then, social navigation methods are classified according to the type of social behavior perception. Also, this paper summarizes model-based social navigation methods and learning-based social navigation methods in detail. Finally, the challenges and future development trends of mobile robot social navigation are discussed.
