Workshop on Simulation of Collective Behavior for Pedestrians and Groups

December 19th, 2012

INAOE - Room 8301. Tonantzintla, Puebla. Mexico

Program available from this link.

Reactive and GT based rules

Dear colleagues, This document contains the updated sets of reactive and game theory based rules used in the second version of the Netlogo program, in the process of replication in the first version of the Repast program. This version contains 9 actions. There's a revised set of rules including more actions that I'm going to post later. I'll upload the corresponding program to Enrique's server at cold.inaoep.mx Kind regards, Angelica

Recent paper on using robots to guide the movement of groups of people:

Anais Garrell and Alberto Sanfeliu, "Cooperative Social Robots to Accompany Groups of People," The International Journal of Robotics Research, published 4 September 2012. [link]

Dear colleagues, This document describes the revised set of fixed rules used currently by our pedestrians. The rules are presented in the form state-action and I expect this format is easily managed to incorporate the Game Theory based rules prepared by Enrique and Raj. I'm sending the Netlogo program directly to your email addresses. Let me know if you need any further explanation.

Dear colleagues,
In this link you can read about preliminary tests performed by Sanjukta and Angelica to follow the relationships of our pedestrians in form of graphs.

Estimating Pedestrian Counts in Crowded Scnearios

A recent (2011) article on estimating pedestrian count from crowded scenes. The techniques proposed might be useful for decision making by a  pedestrian agent. Requires access to IEEE Xplore to get full paper: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5751694

Dear colleagues,
This is the link to the slides presented by Alejandro during the Workshop last Thursday. I'm going to upload the animations later.

Hi,
Here is the file containing the summarized walking rules used by pedestrians in the current model.

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 / From Raj Dasgupta:
Dear all, Thank you for attending and sharing your ideas at today's meeting. I think it was very productive. Please find attached the minutes of today's meetings and discussions.
I am also attaching the slides of my presentation today (without videos). Angelica, could you collect the slides of all the presentations from today and put them on the blog.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks,
-Raj

MIT is starting a new project on how robots can interact with pedestrian crowds. The project is called Intention Aware Motion Planning; Project Website: http://web.mit.edu/tirtha/Public/www/research/IntentionAware/intent.html

Here is a useful Website from UNC with some research on Agent based Crowd Simulation http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/research/crowds/

Welcome to the blog of the FRI project! Let's use this tool to keep a repository of relevant documents for our project. Please feel free to post your comments and remarks.
