Existing navigation policies for autonomous robots tend to focus on collision avoidance while ignoring human-robot interactions in social life. For instance, robots can pass along the corridor safer and easier if pedestrians notice them. Sounds have been considered as an efficient way to attract the attention of pedestrians, which can alleviate the freezing robot problem. In this work, we present ...
