Designing a socially-aware navigation method for crowded environments has become a critical issue in robotics. In order to perform navigation in a crowded environment without causing discomfort to nearby pedestrians, it is necessary to design a global planner that is able to consider both human-robot interaction (HRI) and prediction of future states. In this paper, we propose a socially-aware glob...
