This work proposes a novel approach to social robot navigation by learning to generate robot controls from a social motion latent space. By leveraging this social motion latent space, the proposed method achieves significant improvements in social navigation metrics such as success rate, navigation time, and trajectory length while producing smoother (less jerk and angular deviations) and more ant...
