This work addresses the motion of a mobile robot in an environment, where humans potentially want to interact with it. The designed system consists of three main components: a Kalman filterİ\ based algorithm that derives a person s state information (position, velocity and orientation) relative to the robot; another algorithm that uses a Caseİ\Based Reasoning approach to estimate if a person wants to interact with the robot; and, finally, a navigation system that uses a potential field to derive motion that respects the person s social zones and perceived interest in interaction. %K Humanİ\ %K Robot Interaction %K Robot Motion %K Intention Estimation %U http://www.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/adaptive_human_aware_robot_navigation_in_close_proximity_to_humans
