In this paper, we develop a control framework for the coordination of multiple robots as they navigate through crowded environments. Our framework comprises of a local model predictive control (MPC) for each robot and a social long short-term memory model that forecasts pedestrians’ trajectories. We formulate the local MPC formulation for each individual robot that includes both individual and sha...
