However, such assumption does not hold when agents do not know how other agents will move.We address this issue by proposing a Bayesian inference approach where an agent estimates the navigation model and goal of each neighbor, and uses this to compute a plan that minimizes collisions while driving it to its goal. Simulation experiments performed in many scenarios demonstrate that an agent using our approach computes safer and more time-efficient paths as compared to those generated without our inference approach anda state-of-the-art local navigation framework.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/49","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/0049.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/49.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/bibtex/49","volume":{"slug":"2016","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2016","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/","year":2016,"location":"New York, NY, USA","dates":"9–15 July 2016","editors":"Subbarao Kambhampati","isbn":"978-1-57735-770-4; 978-1-57735-771-1","publisher":"AAAI Press / International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":49,"pages":{"first":294,"last":299},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
